Sucker Punch Effect

Has the user look for an opening to attack an opposing pokemon, decreasing the movement speed of the user and the opposing Pokemon for the duration. After a short time, the user charges to attack the opposing Pokemon. However, if the user receives damage or gets attacked before it charges, it attacks immediately and shoves the opposing Pokemon.

Has a 1-second Wind Up Time

Absol winds up for 1 second before pouncing the target after casting Sucker Punch. However, Absol pounces early if it's attacked during this time window.

How to Use Sucker Punch
