Foresight (Japanese: みやぶる Thought Read) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Generation II and III

Foresight allows Normal- and Fighting-type moves to hit Ghost-type Pokémon. It also brings the foe's evasiveness stat down to 0%. It has an accuracy of 100%.

Generation IV

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

Trivia

• When this move is used on Spiritomb or Sableye, it can be hit by a super-effective move due to the Ghost-type's immunity normally masking a Dark-type weakness.
