Last Resort (move)

Last Resort (Japanese: とっておき The Best) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Last Resort inflicts damage and has no secondary effect. However, it cannot be used until all other moves that the user knows have been fully executed, at least once, during the battle.

This 'counter' resets if the user switches out, faints, or the battle ends. Last Resort will fail if it is the only move the user knows.
