Fake Out (Japanese: ねこだまし Slap Hands) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Generation III

Fake Out inflicts damage and always makes the target flinch, unless it has the Ability Inner Focus or Shield Dust. It has a priority of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.

Fake Out will fail if not used on the first turn the user is out. In wild battles, it won't fail if the player's Pokémon tries to escape, but fails to do so due to the Speed difference. Fake Out does not make contact.

Fake Out can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Arm Thrust, Faint Attack, Knock Off, Seismic Toss, and Vital Throw to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.

Generation IV

Fake Out now makes contact.

Generation V onwards

Fake Out now has +3 priority. In a Rotation Battle, Fake Out can be used on the first turn the Pokémon is rotated in—being out of its Poké Ball but currently rotated out does not affect a Pokémon's ability to use Fake Out. Fake Out will fail if called by Instruct, even if it is the first turn the user is on the field.

When used on a Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokémon successfully, Fake Out deals damage but will not make the target flinch.

Trivia

  • This move is the first Generation III move in index number order.
  • Its Japanese name, ねこだまし Neko Damashi (Slap Hands), refers to a sumo technique used at the start of a match to make the opponent close their eyes. Its wide distribution among catlike Pokémon is likely a play on this name, as it literally translates to cat deception.
  • Fake Out has the highest priority of all damage-dealing moves, excluding Pursuit used against a target being switched out and an HP-draining move used by a Pokémon with Triage.
  • Excluding Fling with a King's Rock or Razor Fang, Fake Out is the only move with a 100% chance of causing the target to flinch.
