Odor Sleuth (Japanese: かぎわける Find Scent) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Generation III

Odor Sleuth removes a Ghost-type Pokémon's immunity to Fighting-type and Normal-type attacks and restores the target's evasion stat to normal. It has an accuracy of 100%.

Generation IV

Same as before, only it has no particular accuracy, thus it never fails.

Generation V

Odor Sleuth can now be reflected with Magic Coat.

Generation VI

Odor Sleuth cannot affect a target using Crafty Shield.

Mightyena The inside of Mightyena's mouth starts to glow white and it becomes surrounded in white static. It then opens its mouth and fires a white orb of energy surrounded by a clear bubble of energy and two white rings around it from its mouth at the ground. When the orb hits, a bright yellow light shines throughout the battlefield, getting rid of all illusions.
