The user attacks with a blast of energy that can lower the opponents accuracy.
Pokémon	Method
User	First Chapter Used In		Notes
	Magnezone points its magnets at the opponent and fires a small beam from each tip at the opponent. Two of the small beams combine together as they shoot at the opponent, and then the two other beams merge together in front of it. It then hits the opponent with the beam. The beams can lower the opponent's accuracy, even if it wasn't hit by the attack as well.
