Steel Wing

Type	Power	Accuracy	PP	Priority	Damage	Target
Steel	70	90%	25	0	Physical	Single non-user

Description

Deals damage and has a 10% chance of raising the user's Defense by 1 stage.

Competitive Use

While a Defense boost may seem like a valuable asset, Steel Wing's low accuracy and an only 10% chance to get that boost make it unreliable. Furthermore, Steel Wing is discouraged due to Steel's terrible offensive coverage.

Related Moves

Metal Claw has 50 Base Power, and a 10% chance to raise the user's Attack by 1 stage.

While Steel Wing was once useful for Skarmory, it gained a much more powerful and reliable STAB in Brave Bird in DPP. Scizor would much rather use Bullet Punch, which has slightly less Base Power after Technician, but with +1 priority and 100% accuracy.
