Topsy-Turvy (Japanese: ひっくりかえす Flip) is a non-damaging Dark-type move introduced in Generation VI. It is the signature move of Inkay and Malamar.
Effect
This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Needs clarification on what "Abilities like Clear Body" means |
Topsy-Turvy reverses all stat changes on the target Pokémon, making positive changes negative and negative changes positive. It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. Abilities like Clear Body do not affect this move.
If powered up by a Darkinium Z into Z-Topsy-Turvy, the user's Attack stat rises by one stage.
