A sucker punch isn't limited to a punch, it can be any type of attack. The term "sucker punch" refers to a tactic used to get the upperhand in a fight unfairly usually through deception and with the foe unaware. An example would be hitting someone in the back of the head from behind. [[User:Tywddle|Tywddle]] 15:15, 26 June 2008 (UTC) | |||
Twyddle is right. A sucker punch is pretty much nothing but a "cheap shot" in a fight; it doesn't matter if you punch them, kick them, or anything like that. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:13, 9 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

Used against sleeping/ frozen/paralysed/confused targets who do not wake/de-thaw/succeed move
I was wondering if sucker punch worked if a sleeping, frozen, paralysed, confused, immobilised etc. targets if they select a damaging move and do not actually use the move after sucker punch is used.
I was also wondering if moves that have no effect can be hit with a sucker punch. Thanks, Pokepro97 (talk) 10:53, 15 June 2014 (UTC).
