How to Use Float Stone

Counter to Other Moves

Float Stone halves the user's weight which makes it a good counter against certain moves. Low Kick and Grass Knot are two moves that deal damage based on the target's weight (the heavier they are, the more damage they take).

Other than that however, the Float Stone is a niched item that rarely see play.
