Change your preferences here. Memento
DescriptionThis move causes the user to faint. The target's Attack and Special Attack are lowered by two stages. If the opponent uses Protect or Detect, or has a Substitute up, it has no effect, but the user still faints.
Competitive UseMemento can provide an opportunity for the user's teammate to use a stat-boosting move, as the opponent will likely be unable to KO it due to the Attack and Special Attack drops. Using Reflect and Light Screen before Memento makes set-up even easier. Memento is also an effective weapon against Baton Pass teams that focus on passing Shell Smash, as the boosts to Attack and Special Attack will be nullified. Related MovesExplosion and Selfdestruct also cause the user to faint, but deal damage instead, with Base Powers of 250 and 200, respectively. Lunar Dance and Healing Wish both cause the user to faint, but restore the HP of a teammate and cure it of status. Lunar Dance also restores the PP of all of the teammate's moves. |
