Pokémon	Method
User	First Used In		Notes
	Kricketune's wings glow red and points its antennae in the air. Its antennae then vibrate and red soundwaves come out of them, creating a siren-like sound which hurts the opponent. The soundwaves then come together and Kricketune can fire it as a red beam at the opponent using its arms.
