Feint (Japanese: フェイント Feint) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 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 is an increased priority move and attacks after Protect and Detect, but before other increased priority attacks.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Feint will strike the target regardless of any move used.

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, possibly to avoid overuse of this move with Technician.

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 can still break an ally's Protect or Detect, but cannot break a Pokémon's Endure. [1]
