String Shot (Japanese: いとをはく Spit Thread) is a slightly inaccurate non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

String Shot decreases the opponent's Speed by 1 level.

String Shot will do nothing if the opponent's Speed has reached a level of -6 or a value of 1, and will fail if the opponent has a Substitute or is under the effect of Mist.
