False Swipe (Japanese: みねうち Blunt Strike) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move.
Effect
False Swipe inflicts damage and if False Swipe deals more damage than the target's current HP, the target will always be left with 1 HP remaining. If the target has 1 HP remaining, False Swipe will hit and leave the target at 1 HP. This move is most often used to catch wild Pokémon.
If used against a substitute, False Swipe is able to break it, and will not leave the decoy with 1 HP.
