Shows off the Pokémon's appeal about as well as the move used just before it.

Foul Play (Japanese: イカサマ Trickery) is a damage-dealing Dark-type move introduced in Generation V. It was TM21 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. In Generation VIII, it is TR81.

Effect

Foul Play inflicts damage. It uses the target's Attack stat to calculate damage instead of the user's.

The target's Attack stat stage-modifiers are applied (rather than the user's), but otherwise the user's Attack modifiers are used (including held item, Ability, and burn). For example, the user's Huge Power or held Choice Band will increase the stat used in calculation, whereas the target's will not.

Description

Games Description
BWB2W2 The user turns the target's power against it. The higher the target's Attack stat, the greater the damage.
