◆ Air Cutter is a special STAB-boosted 55-base power Flying-type move (high critical hit ratio. Hits adjacent foes). ◆ Air Slash is a special STAB-boosted 75-base power Flying-type move (30% chance to make the target flinch). ◆ Bug Buzz is a special STAB-boosted 90-base power Bug-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage). ◆ Signal Beam is a special STAB-boosted 75-base power Bug-type move (10% chance to confuse the target). ◆ Ice Beam is a special 95-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target). ◆ Energy Ball is a special 80-base power Grass-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage).
