Air Cutter

Type Power Accuracy PP Priority Damage Target
Flying 55 95% 25 0 Special All enemies

Description

Deals damage and has a critical hit rate one stage higher than normal. Assuming there are no other critical hit modifiers in play, this move has a 12.5% chance to get a critical hit instead of a 6.25% chance.

In a double or triple battle, this move will hit all opposing Pokemon adjacent to the user. If it hits multiple Pokemon in this way, its Base Power is reduced to 75% of its usual power. Attacks on multiple Pokemon are considered separate attacks, so the move may hit one Pokemon but fail to hit another.

Competitive Use

Low power, even lower competitive worth. As far as special Flying-type attacks go, Air Slash is pretty much better in every single way (competitively speaking). For the Flying-types that actually get it and could actually do some damage with it, Togekiss and Shaymin-S have Air Slash, Lugia has Aeroblast, Dragonite has Hurricane, and Salamence really has better things to be doing with its time.

Related Moves

Razor Leaf is a physical Grass-type equivalent.

Air Slash is a more powerful option with the same accuracy, but fewer PP.

Hurricane is a much more powerful option with lower accuracy and fewer PP.
