Horn Attack (Japanese: つのでつく Horn Thrust) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Horn Attack deals damage and has no secondary effect.

Confusion can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra four appeal points if move Leer was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing Fury Attack and Horn Drill to give extra two appeal points if used in the next turn.

Trivia

  • Horn Attack was the first move that was shown to be used in the anime. It was used by a Nidorino in the first episode.
  • Omanyte can learn this move in Generation I, despite having no visible horn or tusks. This is likely because its evolution, Omastar, has spikes on its body.
