Foresight (Japanese: みやぶる Thought Read) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Generation II and III

Foresight allows Normal- and Template:Type2 moves to hit Template:Type2 Pokémon. It also brings the foe's evasiveness stat down to 0%. It has an accuracy of 100%.

Generation IV

Same as before, only it has no particular accuracy, thus it never fails.

In the anime

  • Noctowl Foresight.JPG

    Ash's Noctowl using Foresight.

  • Noctowl Foresight2.JPG

    Noctowl's view after using Foresight.

Pokémon

Hoothoot. Hoothoot's eyes shoot red beams and it is able to get rid of illusions created. It can also reveal invisible Ghost-type Pokémon.

Noctowl. Noctowl's pupils glow red. Noctowl then gains the ability to see objects in far away areas.

Trivia

  • When this move is used on Spiritomb or Sableye, it can be hit by a super-effective move due to the Ghost-type's immunity normally masking a Dark-type weakness.
