On Smogon's Movedex: Generation IX

Axe Kick (Japanese: かかとおとし Axe Kick) is a damaging-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation IX.

Description

Games Description SV The user attacks by kicking up into the air and slamming its heel down upon the target. This may also confuse the target. If it misses, the user takes damage instead.
