Petal Dance (Japanese: はなびらのまい Petal Dance) is a damage-dealing Grass-type move introduced in Generation I.
Contents |
Effect
Petal Dance does damage for 2-3 (chosen randomly) turns. Once used (even if it misses on the turn of its use), the user will only be able to use Petal Dance, and will not be able to switch out. At the end of this duration, the user will become confused.
If the Petal Dance duration is disrupted (such as by full paralysis or hurting itself due to confusion), it will immediately end. The user will only become confused if Petal Dance is fully executed, without its duration being disrupted. Sleep, freeze, partial trapping, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Petal Dance.
In Stadium, after the duration of Petal Dance ends, there will be a notice that the user becomes confused.
