Parting Shot (Japanese: すてゼリフ Parting Shot) is a non-damaging Dark-type move introduced in Generation VI. Prior to Generation VII, it was the signature move of Pancham and Pangoro.

Effect

Parting Shot lowers the target's Attack and Special Attack stats by one stage each, and then switches the user out.

Parting Shot is a sound-based move. Parting Shot can hit Pokémon even if they are behind a substitute.

If Parting Shot is used on a Pokémon under the effect of Magic Coat or that has the Ability Magic Bounce, the effect is bounced back to the user, lowering the user's Attack and Special Attack, and the target is switched out instead.

If an opponent uses Pursuit on the same turn Parting Shot is used, Pursuit deals normal damage if the foe is faster, or double damage if the foe is slower than the user.

Generation VI

The user will not switch out if Parting Shot fails (such as if it has no target), if the target is immune (such as due to Soundproof), if it is blocked by a protection move, or if there is no Pokémon in the party that can be sent out to replace the user after switching out. However, the user will switch even if Parting Shot is unable to affect the target's stats (such as due to Clear Body or Mist).

Generation VII onward

The user no longer switches out if Parting Shot is unable to affect the target's stats (such as due to Clear Body or Mist). The user will no longer switch out if the target already has both -6 Attack and Special Attack stat stages (unless the target's Ability is Contrary, in which case the user will not switch out if the target has both +6 Attack and Special Attack stat stages). The user successfully switches out if Parting Shot is unable to affect the target's stats due to Mirror Armor, regardless of whether the user's own stats are reduced as a result.

If powered up by a Darkinium Z into Z-Parting Shot, if a Pokémon is switched in to replace the user the same turn, that Pokémon has its HP fully restored (even if Z-Parting Shot was not used successfully after gaining its Z-Power effect). Throat Chop cannot prevent a Pokémon from using Z-Parting Shot.
