The inside of Mightyena's mouth starts to glow white and it becomes surrounded in white static. It then opens its mouth and fires a white orb of energy surrounded by a clear bubble of energy and two white rings around it from its mouth at the ground. When the orb hits, a bright yellow light shines throughout the battlefield, getting rid of all illusions. | ||
