Dragon Tail
DragonSummary
Dragon Tail is a Dragon-type move with 60 power and 90% accuracy. Unlike other damaging moves, Dragon Tail has a unique secondary effect: it forces the target to switch out if they are not Knocked Out, making it a strategic choice to disrupt opponents' setups. In wild battles, Dragon Tail ends the battle if the target is not defeated. It has a negative priority, meaning it will usually go last in a turn. This move is particularly useful in competitive play for phasing out opponents' stat boosts or forcing a more favorable matchup.
Effect
Inflicts regular damage, then switches the target out for another of its trainer's Pokémon, selected at random. If the target is under the effect of ingrain or suction cups, or it has a substitute, or its Trainer has no more usable Pokémon, it will not be switched out. If the target is a wild Pokémon, the battle ends instead.
Short Effect: Ends wild battles. Forces trainers to switch Pokémon.
