Feint (Japanese: フェイント Feint) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Generation IV

Feint inflicts damage but only strikes a target that has used Protect or Detect during that turn, lifting the effects of Protect or Detect for the remainder of the turn. Feint cannot remove the effects of Protect or Detect if it does not affect the target (such as if the target is Ghost-type).

Feint is an increased priority move and attacks after Protect and Detect, but before other increased priority attacks.

Generation V

Feint can now inflict damage even if the target has not used Protect or Detect, and its power has changed from 50 to 30.

Despite being an increased priority move, Feint will lift the effects of Wide Guard and Quick Guard for the remainder of the turn only if they are used on an opposing team. Feint is not blocked by an opponent's Quick Guard, but it is blocked by an ally's.

Generation VI

Feint will now lift the effects of Quick Guard and Wide Guard when used on allies, and is no longer blocked by an ally's Quick Guard.

Feint hits a target even if it is protected by Mat Block, Spiky Shield or King's Shield and removes that protection for the rest of the turn. The user of Feint does not suffer the negative effects of its target's Spiky Shield or King's Shield.

Feint removes Crafty Shield and Mat Block from the target's team.
