Astonish

Type Power Accuracy PP Priority Damage Target
Ghost 30 100% 15 0 Physical Single non-user

Description

Deals damage and has a 30% chance to flinch the target.

Competitive Use

Astonish is such an astonishingly weak move that nobody in their right mind would ever dream of using it. Even though physical Ghost-type moves are hardly strong, you are better off with Shadow Sneak or Shadow Claw, which themselves can hardly be recommended. As far as flinching goes, you are best off with the likes of Iron Head, Air Slash, and Rock Slide.

Related Moves

Shadow Punch, Shadow Claw, and Shadow Sneak are more powerful physical Ghost-type moves, with the latter having +1 priority.

Iron Head, Headbutt, and Rock Slide are the most powerful physical moves offering the same 30% flinch chance.
