Vital Throw (Japanese: あてみなげ Strike Throw) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II.
Effect
Vital Throw deals damage and is a decreased priority move, causing the user to attack after other Pokémon that are using ordinary priority moves. However, it will strike before Pokémon using other decreased priority moves such as Focus Punch and Avalanche. Vital Throw does not miss unless the target has just used Fly, Dig, Dive, Bounce, or Shadow Force.
