On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Tearful Look (Japanese: なみだめ Teary Eyes) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation VII.

Effect

Tearful Look lowers the target's Attack and Special Attack stats by one stage each. It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. Tearful Look will hit the target even if it has used Protect, Detect, Spiky Shield, or Baneful Bunker, but will be blocked by Crafty Shield.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Tearful Look, the user's Defense stat rises by one stage.

Description

Games Description SMUSUM SwShBDSP The user gets teary eyed to make the target lose its combative spirit. This lowers the target's Attack and Sp. Atk stats.

• The stock image used for Tearful Look's battle animation as well as Baby-Doll Eyes appears to be based on the eyes of Espurr, although Espurr cannot learn either move.
