Competitive Analysis

Astonish has the secondary effect of having a 30% chance to make the target flinch.

However, this attack remains to be very weak and is not viable for use even with the chance of making the target flinch. Alternative Ghost-type moves include the use of Shadow Claw which has the secondary effect of landing critical hits more easily, Poltergeist which deals a lot of damage if the target is holding an item, or Shadow Sneak which enjoys being a priority move.

Astonish Locations

Astonish can only be learned by Level Up, Egg Moves, and by Default
