The user fires a white sphere of energy from its mouth at the opponent to identify any illusions.
Pokémon	Method
User	First Used In		Notes
	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.
