The user disappears into the shadows and then strikes from behind on the next turn. This attack always results in a critical hit.Move Description
The user vanishes into the shadows and reappears behind the target after a short delay, stabbing them in the back before they can turn or get away. The stab always surprises the opponent and hits a weak spot, dealing critical damage.
Effect
User disappears into the shadows for one turn, becoming immune to attack, and hits on the second turn. Always scores a critical hit unless the target has Battle Armor or Shell Armor or is under the effect of Lucky Chant.
The damage from Hail and Sandstorm does not apply during the immune turn. The user may be hit during its immune turn if under the effect of Lock-On, Mind Reader, or No Guard.
