Zen Headbutt

Type Power Accuracy PP Priority Damage Target
Psychic 80 90% 15 0 Physical Single non-user

Description

Deals damage and has a 20% chance to flinch the opponent.

Competitive Use

Zen Headbutt is usually the "Psychic-type STAB of choice" for physically-oriented Psychic-types, facing little competition from Psycho Cut thanks to its higher Base Power and much better distribution. The flinch chance is a nice bonus, but shouldn't be counted on, unless you are running Jirachi.
