This move's effect duration is limited, but after each time the user hits with a special boosted basic attack or another move, the duration resets. If the user moves when unable to do a dash attack, this move's effect duration immediately ends. During this move, if the user hits opposing Pokémon with a combined total of six dash attacks and special boosted basic attacks (or other moves), the user will jump into the air and then land with a slash in a set area of effect, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon. If this slash attack hits opposing Pokémon, the user recovers HP. While jumping, the user is able to use Shadow Claw or Cut to move a set distance. Upgrade: Reduces this move's cooldown.

As long as a point is marked, if the user users certain moves other than Feint Attack, the point where the move was used becomes the new marked point. If the user hits opposing Pokémon four times with either Feint Attack or certain other moves without interrupting the chain of marking, the next use of Feint Attack changes. If this changed Feint Attack is used, the user leaps at the designated opposing Pokémon and deals damage to it before landing in a designated direction. Upgrade: Reduces this move's cooldown.
