Night Slash Effect

Has the user throw slashing waves with its claws, dealing damage and applying a mark to opposing Pokemon the slashing waves hit. The user's basic attacks have an increased critical-hit rate on marked opposing Pokemon. When the user deals damage to marked opposing Pokemon with basic attacks, this moves's cooldown is reduced and the user recovers HP.

How to Use Night Slash

Utilize the Increased Critical-Hit Rate Effect, Healing, and Cooldown Reduction Mechanic

It's best to attack opponents hit by Night Slash to take advantage of the move's increased critical-hit rate and healing effect, allowing Meowscarada to burst down opponents and recover HP with its attacks. Attacking marked opponents also reduces the move's cooldown by 1 second for each attack.

Use as a Finisher

Night Slash can also be used to finish off targets. Its damage is quite decent even though its effects are its most notable feature.

Night Slash Patch History

1.14.1.2 Cooldown decreased from 7.5s to 6.5s (-1s).
1.13.1.3 Healing effect increased by 50%.
