Pursuit Effect

Inflicts regular damage. If the target attempts to switch out this turn before the user acts, this move hits the target before it leaves and has double power. This effect can still hit a Pokémon that switches out when it has a Substitute up or when an ally has used Follow Me.

“This move can’t be used. It’s recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can’t be remembered.”

Target: One other Pokémon on the field, selected by the trainer.
