String Shot (Japanese: いとをはく Spit Thread) is a non-damaging Bug-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generations I to V

String Shot decreases the targets' Speed stat by one stage.

In battles with multiple opponents, String Shot targets all adjacent foes.

Generation VI onward

String Shot now decreases the targets' Speed stat by two stages.

String Shot can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing any of the moves Electroweb, Spider Web and Sticky Web to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a Buginium Z into Z-String Shot, the user's Speed stat is raised by one stage.
