Odor Sleuth

Normal

Summary

Odor Sleuth is a Normal-type non-damaging move with no power and perfect accuracy. Its primary function is to neutralize the evasiveness of Ghost-type Pokémon, making them susceptible to Normal- and Fighting-type moves. Additionally, it removes any changes to the target's evasion, ensuring that subsequent attacks will hit. Introduced in Generation III, Odor Sleuth is particularly useful in battles against evasive opponents and Ghost-types, which are normally immune to Normal and Fighting attacks.

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.
