How it works in Champions

the user's Special Attack by 2 .

“The user whips up a storm of leaves around the target. The recoil from this move harshly lowers the user's Sp. Atk stat.”

In-game text, Scarlet & Violet

Good to know

  • Doesn't make contact: Rough Skin, Rocky Helmet and similar don't trigger.
  • Lowers the user's own stats after use; White Herb restores them and Contrary turns the drops into boosts.
