Perish Song is a strange move that affects all Pokemon in the field, including the user, and starts a countdown where all Pokemon present when the move is used will faint in three turns.
This move may seem very dangerous but is easily countered by simply switching out.
Pokemon that have heard Perish Song can avoid fainting by switching out. If you are planning to use Perish Song, you can use moves or Abilities that permanently trap Pokemon in the field. This also means that the Pokemon using the trapping move will also be affected by Perish Song.
Moves like Mean Look and Block and Abilities like Arena Trap will prevent Pokemon from switching out and force them to let Perish Song run its course.
Unfortunately this strategy is also easily countered as pivot moves like U-turn and Volt Switch see common usage in battles. These moves enable Pokemon to escape trapping moves.
Perish Song is only available by Default, Level Up, or via Egg Move.
