Summary
Makes the target flinch if the user has not already used this move since entering battle.
Description
The user rushes at the opponent and fakes an attack, which can startle the target into forgetting its command for that action. Opponents are unlikely to be startled by such a tactic again, making effective repeated usage of this attack nigh-impossible.
