Mr. Mime can obtain the move by reaching level 4 and upgrading Fake Out into it instead of Confusion. After a short delay, the user creates a pulse of energy that damages enemies around themself and any target affected by Guard Swap, with a smaller pulse around any created Barriers or Light Screens. A debuff is placed on enemies for 3s, reducing their Sp. Def. by 15% for each blast they are hit with. Enemies hit by more than 1 pulse are stunned. At level 11, the attack also briefly slows.

The blast creates a lingering field that damages, slows, and reduces Special Defense. At level 13, the move's cooldown is reduced.
