Clear Smog (Japanese: クリアスモッグ Clear Smog) is a damage-dealing Poison-type move introduced in Generation V. It can be seen as a damage dealing version of Haze.

Effect

Clear Smog inflicts damage and resets all stat levels of the target to 0; unlike Haze, this move only hits one target rather than afflicting every Pokémon on the field. This effect does not work if the foe is unaffected by the attack or if the foe is behind a Substitute. Clear Smog does not miss unless the target has just used Fly, Dig, Dive, Bounce, Phantom Force, or Shadow Force.

Description

Games Description The user attacks by throwing a clump of special mud. All status changes are returned to normal. The user attacks by throwing a clump of special mud. All stat changes are returned to normal.
