◆ Foul Play is a physical STAB-boosted 95-base power Dark-type move (uses target's attack stat in damage calculation). ◆ Night Daze is a special STAB-boosted 85-base power Dark-type move (40% chance to lower the target's accuracy by 1 stage). ◆ Hyper Voice is a special 90-base power Normal-type move (no additional effect.
