Moves

Poison StingLv 1PoisonPhysicalPower 15Accuracy 10035 PPHas a 30% chance to poison the target.
ScratchLv 5NormalPhysicalPower 40Accuracy 10035 PPNo additional effect.
Tail WhipLv 10NormalStatusPower 0Accuracy 10030 PPLowers the target's Defense by 1 stage.
Fury SwipesLv 15NormalPhysicalPower 18Accuracy 8015 PPHits two to five times. Has a 35% chance to hit two or three times and a 15% chance to hit four or five times. If one of the hits breaks the target's substitute, it will take damage for the remaining hits. If the user has the Skill Link Ability, this move will always hit five times.
Toxic SpikesLv 20PoisonStatusPower 020 PPSets up a hazard on the opposing side of the field, poisoning each opposing Pokemon that switches in, unless it is a Flying-type Pokemon or has the Levitate Ability. Can be used up to two times before failing. Opposing Pokemon become poisoned with one layer and badly poisoned with two layers. Can be removed from the opposing side if any opposing Pokemon uses Mortal Spin, Rapid Spin, or Defog successfully, is hit by Defog, or a grounded Poison-type Pokemon switches in. Safeguard prevents the opposing party from being poisoned on switch-in, but a substitute does not.
Double KickLv 25FightingPhysicalPower 30Accuracy 10030 PPHits twice. If the first hit breaks the target's substitute, it will take damage for the second hit.
BiteLv 30DarkPhysicalPower 60Accuracy 10025 PPHas a 30% chance to make the target flinch.
Helping HandLv 35NormalStatusPower 020 PPThe power of the target's attack this turn is multiplied by 1.5 (this effect is stackable). Fails if there is no ally adjacent to the user or if the ally already moved this turn, but does not fail if the ally is using a two-turn move.
ToxicLv 40PoisonStatusPower 0Accuracy 9010 PPBadly poisons the target. If a Poison-type Pokemon uses this move, the target cannot avoid the attack, even if the target is in the middle of a two-turn move.
