In Pokémon UNITE, Leaf Storm is Decidueye's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 8 and upgrading Astonish into it instead of Shadow Sneak. The user creates a tempest of sharp leaves, dealing damage to enemies it hits and decreases their movement speed by 30% for a short time. At point-blank range, it also shoves and stuns enemies hit. At level 13, the movement speed reduction's duration is increased.
