'''Petal Dance''' (Japanese: '''はなびらのまい''' ''Petal Dance'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Oddish}}'s evolutionary line.

Petal Dance inflicts damage for 3-4 turns, has a base power of 70, and 20 {{PP}}. PP is deducted only on the turn Petal Dance is first called. Once called, even if the move misses, the user will only be able to use Petal Dance, and will not be able to [[switch]] out. After Petal Dance is finished, the user becomes {{status|Confusion|confused}}.

If the Petal Dance duration is disrupted (such as by full {{status|paralysis}} or hurting itself due to {{status|confusion}}), it will immediately end. The user will only become confused if Petal Dance is fully executed, without its duration being disrupted. {{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze}}, partial trapping, and {{status|flinch}}ing will pause but not disrupt the duration of Petal Dance.

The duration of Petal Dance is decreased to 2-3 turns.

In battles with multiple opponents, the user selects itself as the target, but hits an adjacent opponent that is selected at random upon each use of the move.

Petal Dance can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining four extra appeal points if the move {{m|Growth}} was used in the prior turn.

The power of Petal Dance is further increased to 120, and its PP is reduced to 10. It is disrupted if it is not successful due to missing, {{status|sleep}}ing, {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|freeze}}, {{status|flinch}}ing, a {{m|Protect}}ing target, or a type immunity. If a disruption occurs on what would have been the final, confusion-inducing turn of Petal Dance, the user will still become confused.
