Swift (move): Difference between revisions

'''Swift''' (Japanese: '''スピードスター''' ''Speed Star'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[TM39]] in Generations I and {{Gen|II}}.

==Effect==

===Generation I===

Swift no longer hits the target during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly or Dig, and moves such as {{m|Protect}} also allow the opponent to avoid taking damage.
