Competitive Analysis

Fist Impression is a great alternative to Fake Out particularly since it deals more damage, but can only be used on the first turn the user is in battle.

This works great for scouting the opponent, particularly in Doubles, and potentially breaking Focus Sash and Sturdy

First Impression Locations

First Impression is only available via Level Up, Egg Moves, and by Default.
