Perish Song (Japanese: ほろびのうた Perish Song) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

After 3 turns, all Pokémon that were on the field when Perish Song was used will faint unless they switch out. Perish Song does not affect Pokémon with the ability Soundproof. If a Pokémon switches out with Baton Pass, Perish Song will still be in effect on the Pokémon switched in, even if it has the ability Soundproof.
