On Smogon's Movedex:
- Generation IX

Night Slash is a Dark-type move introduced in Generation IV. It is Physical, ergo it runs off the physical stat.

Effect

Night Slash has a critical hit ratio of 12.5%, as opposed to the usual 6.25%.

Uses

Night Slash could be a useful move on Absol, or Honchkrow as the high critical hit ratio, the 1.5x STAB bonus and Absol and Honchkrow's new ability - Super Luck - as well as a Razor Claw being held - can make Night Slash critical hit often, giving it a power around the same base power as Explosion.
