Memento

Dark

Summary

Memento is a Dark-type move with no power, but it has the unique effect of causing the user to faint. It has 100% accuracy and, upon fainting, drastically lowers the target's Attack and Special Attack by two stages each. Memento is often used strategically to cripple opposing Pokémon, providing an opportunity for a teammate to set up or switch in safely. Despite its sacrificial nature, it can turn the tide of battle by weakening a key opponent. Memento is commonly seen in competitive play for its utility in disrupting the opponent's momentum.
