Competitive Analysis

Don't underestimate Mud-Slap! This move might not deal the biggest damage, but it certainly can ruin your momentum as each attack lowers the target's accuracy.

Pokemon that rely on high power, low accuracy moves such as Hydro Pump, Hurricane, and the like should definitely watch out.

A not-so-common strategy can be worked out if Mud-Slap is combined with a Pokemon that can learn Minimize. Silicobra and Sandaconda can learn both of these moves.
