==Trivia== | |||
* Its Japanese name refers to striking someone with the blunt side of a sword. | |||
* Due to the move's effect of always leaving the target with at least 1 HP, False Swipe is the only damage-dealing move capable of doing zero damage on a successful hit as well as the only damaging dealing move not capable of knocking an opposing Pokémon out due to its ineffectiveness when the defending Pokémon has 1HP left without the use of any endurance type move used by the target Pokémon. | |||
* False Swipe is most commonly used to catch wild Pokémon. | |||
