Tail Whip Effect

Has the user wag its tail, dealing damage, applying a slowing effect, and decreasing the Sp. Def. of the designated opposing Pokemon. While the mysterious power is active, the opposing Pokemon's Sp. Def. is decreased by a greater amount.

How to Use Tail Whip

Always Use First

Tail Whip deals damage, slows the target and decreases their Sp. Def., making it a great setup move. It's best to always use Tail Whip first before using the other move to take advantage of the Sp. Def. reduction.
