Faint Attack on Legendary Pokémon MoveDex Faint Attack on Eevee's Movedex

Faint Attack is a Dark-type move introduced in Generation II that deals a small amount of damage. The Japanese name ("Sneak Attack") and animated depictions suggest the English name is a misspelled reference to the fencing term "feint."
