False Swipe (move)

False Swipe (Japanese: みねうち Strike with the Back of the Sword) is a damage-dealing Illusion-type attack.

Effect
False Swipe inflicts damage, but can never knock out the target directly, always leaving them at 1HP. Secondary damage such as from Burn or Sandstorm can still knock out the target, though.

False Swipe can also be used as part of a Puppet Contest combination, with the user gaining extra two appeal points if the attack Swords Dance was used in the prior turn.
