Change your preferences here. Endeavor
DescriptionReduces the target's current HP to that of the user. Does not affect Ghost-types. Fails if user has higher HP than the target. This is counted as a damage-dealing attack, and hence cannot be blocked by Taunt, and makes contact with the opponent. Competitive UseEndeavor is an interesting move; it straddles the border between gimmick and competitive. The user must be at low HP to deal greater amounts of damage, but since such a situation is generally unfavorable, many strategies around Endeavor have evolved. The most common of these is FEAR, in which a level 1 Pokemon is equipped with a Focus Sash. As the opponent attacks, the FEAR Pokemon uses Endeavor to bring the opponent down to 1 HP. The FEAR user then follows up with a priority move, dealing exactly 1 HP of damage and KOing the opponent. However, this strategy is easily thwarted, such as by hazards, weather, priority, and status, but Magic Guard Pokemon are not affected by weather and hazards, and therefore make good use of Endeavor. Another common way to abuse Endeavor is with Sturdy and Shell Bell; the damage dealt by Endeavor will restore Sturdy. Related MovesNo other moves are similar to Endeavor. |
