Foresight

Normal

Summary

Foresight is a Normal-type move with no power and perfect accuracy. Its primary function is to identify the target, which allows subsequent moves to hit Ghost-type Pokémon, negating their immunity to Normal- and Fighting-type moves. Additionally, Foresight resets any changes to the target's evasion stat. This move is particularly useful for Pokémon that struggle against evasive or Ghost-type opponents, providing a strategic advantage in battles by ensuring that attacks connect regardless of type immunities or stat changes.

Effect

Resets the target's evasion to normal and prevents any further boosting until the target leaves the field. A ghost under this effect takes normal damage from normal and fighting moves. This move itself ignores accuracy and evasion modifiers.

Short Effect: Forces the target to have no Evade, and allows it to be hit by Normal and Fighting moves even if it's a Ghost.
