Thousand Arrows (Japanese: サウザンアロー Thousand Arrows) is a damage-dealing Ground-type move introduced in Generation VI. It was not legitimately available until Generation VII. It is one of the signature moves of Zygarde.

Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Does it deal super-effective damage to Flying types in Inverse Battles? You can discuss this on the talk page.

Thousand Arrows inflicts damage. Despite being a Ground-type move, it can damage ungrounded Pokémon that are Flying-type, have Levitate, hold an Air Balloon, or are affected by Magnet Rise or Telekinesis; a Flying-type Pokémon not already grounded will receive neutral damage from Thousand Arrows, regardless of its secondary type, and the effects of Magnet Rise and Telekinesis will be removed.

If the target is Flying-type, has the Ability Levitate, or is under the effect of Magnet Rise or Telekinesis, Thousand Arrows applies its effect to that Pokémon, causing that target to become grounded (vulnerable to Ground-type moves, affected by terrain and Arena Trap) until that target switches out. Thousand Arrows also removes the effects of Magnet Rise and Telekinesis. The effect of Thousand Arrows is not applied if it hits the target's substitute or if the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop, holds an Iron Ball, or is under the effect of Gravity or Ingrain.

Thousand Arrows can hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turns of Fly, Bounce, and Sky Drop. If it hits a Pokémon that is using Fly or Bounce, it will knock it down, cancelling the move; if it hits a Pokémon using or affected by Sky Drop, it will not be knocked down. A Pokémon under the effect of Thousand Arrows can still use these moves on subsequent turns.
