♦ Outrage is a physical STAB-boosted 120-base power Dragon-type move (lasts 2-3 turns. confuses your Axew afterwards). ♦ Dragon Claw is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Dragon-type move that deals a good amount of damage. ♦ Superpower is a physical 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Axew's attack and defense by 1 stage). ♦ Poison Jab is a physical 80-base power Poison-type move (30% chance to poison the target). ♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Night Slash is a physical 70-base power Dark-type move (high critical hit ratio).
