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 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.

In the anime
