Air Slash is a flying-type special move that was introduced in Generation IV.

Description

The user attacks with a slash of wind that even slices the sky.

Effect

In battle

Air Slash has a 30% chance to cause the opponent's Pokémon to flinch. Due to the introduction of Triple Battles in Generation V, Air Slash's effect was adapted to take this change into account, in which the attack can hit the Pokémon to the left and right of the user.

Super Contests

Earn +2 if the user performs first in the turn.
