Scary Face (Japanese: こわいかお Scary Face) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TM26 in Pokémon Sword and Shield and is TM006 in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Effect

Generations II to IV

Scary Face lowers the target's Speed stat by two stages.

Scary Face can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Bite, Crunch, Leer, and Super Fang to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Leer or Rage was used in the previous turn.

Generation V onward

Scary Face's accuracy was changed from 90% to 100%.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Scary Face, the user's Speed stat is raised by one stage.
