Fake Out (Japanese: ねこだまし Slap Hands) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Generation III

Fake Out inflicts damage, is an increased priority move, and always makes the target flinch, unless it has the Ability Inner Focus or Shield Dust. If the target does not use an increased priority move during the round that it is used, Fake Out will go first regardless of the user's or target's Speed. If the target also uses a move with an increased priority of +1 during the same round that the user uses Fake Out, the move order of the users will be determined normally.

Although Fake Out's accuracy is 100%, it will fail if not used on the first turn the user is out.

In this generation, Fake Out does not make contact.

Generation IV

Fake Out now makes contact.

Generation V onward

Fake Out now has +3 priority. In a Rotation Battle, Fake Out can be used on the first turn the Pokémon is rotated in—being out of its Poké Ball but currently rotated out does not affect a Pokémon's ability to use Fake Out.

Trivia

  • This move is the first Generation III move in index number order.
  • Its Japanese name, ねこだまし Neko Damashi (Slap Hands), refers to a sumo technique used at the start of a match to make the opponent close their eyes. Its wide distribution among catlike Pokémon is likely a play on this name, as it literally translates to cat deception.
  • Fake Out has the highest priority of all damage-dealing moves, excluding Pursuit used against a target being switched out.
  • Excluding Fling with a King's Rock or Razor Fang, Fake Out is the only move with a 100% chance of causing the target to flinch.
