Ceaseless Edge inflicts damage and sets up one layer of Spikes on the target's side of the field. If used by a Pokémon with Sharpness, its power is increased by 50%. It does not have an increased critical-hit ratio.

Description

Games Description LA The user slashes its shell blade at the target, aiming to land a critical hit. Shell splinters left behind by this attack will continue to damage the target for several turns. SV The user slashes its shell blade at the target, aiming to land a critical hit. Shell splinters left behind by this attack remain scattered under the target as spikes.

According to Poké Portal News, the erroneous description in Scarlet and Violet stating that the move has an increased critical-hit ratio will be amended in a future update.
