Shock Wave

Electric

Summary

Shock Wave is an Electric-type move with 60 power and infinite accuracy. This means Shock Wave never misses, regardless of any changes in accuracy or evasion. It is particularly useful for countering evasive opponents or moves that typically decrease accuracy. Though it has relatively low power compared to other Electric-type moves, its guaranteed hit makes it a strategic choice in various battle situations. Shock Wave was introduced in Generation III and can often be found taught via TM34 in various Pokémon games.
