String Shot (Japanese: いとをはく Spit Thread) is a non-damaging Bug-type move introduced in Generation I.
Effect
Generation I to V
String Shot decreases the targets' Speed stat by one stage.
In battles with multiple opponents, String Shot targets all adjacent foes.
String Shot can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Spider Web to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.
Generation VI onwards
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.

In other games
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, and Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, String Shot is a move with 16PP and 75% accuracy. The attack travels up to 10 tiles away, and hits the first Pokémon it encounters, ally or enemy, lowering its Movement Speed by one level. This move is affected by Magic Coat and Taunt.
In Gates To Infinity it travels in a straight line until it hits a wall or enemy. If an enemy is hit from an adjacent tile they become unable to move. If hit from farther they lose speed.
Pokémon Rumble Rush
In Pokémon Rumble Rush, all status moves including String Shot could only be used by opposing Pokémon and could not be obtained on any caught Pokémon. String Shot could be seen as a move used by Boss Grubbin.
