Pain Split
NormalSummary
Pain Split is a Normal-type move with no set power or accuracy percentage. Instead, it functions uniquely by averaging the current HP of the user and the target Pokémon, then setting both Pokémon's HP to this averaged amount. This move does not rely on accuracy checks like conventional damaging moves, making it bypass accuracy and evasion stats. Pain Split is particularly effective in scenarios where the user has significantly lower HP than its opponent, allowing for a substantial HP recovery for the user while reducing the opponent's HP. This move is commonly utilized in competitive play to maintain longevity, especially among Pokémon capable of tanking hits or those meant to disrupt an opponent's strategy.
