In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Octazooka deals damage. Prior to Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Octazooka may lower the enemy's accuracy by one stage. From Super Mystery Dungeon onwards, Octazooka instead may instead inflict the Blinker status condition. This causes the affected Pokémon to not be able to see other Pokémon, items or dungeon walls, and will treat allies as enemies.
