Thousand Arrows (Japanese: サウザンアロー Thousand Arrows) is a damage-dealing Ground-type move introduced in Generation VI.

Effect

Thousand Arrows inflicts damage and removes the effects of Magnet Rise and Telekinesis.It also makes its target vulnerable to Ground-type moves and Arena Trap even if it is Flying-type or has Levitate. This effect lasts until the affected Pokémon switches out.

This effect does not occur if the target is behind a substitute or is not currently Flying-type (e.g. by using Roost) or does not currently have Levitate.

Thousand Arrows can hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turns of Fly, Bounce, and Sky Drop, and if it does it will deal double damage. If it hits a Pokémon that is using Fly or Bounce, it will knock it down, cancelling the move; if it hits a Pokémon using or affected by Sky Drop, it will not be knocked down. A Pokémon hit with Thousand Arrows can still use Fly or Bounce on subsequent turns.

Description

Games Description This move also hits opposing Pokémon that are in the air. Those Pokémon are knocked down to the ground.
