Bounce

Functionality

Bounce is a two-turn move wherein the user bounces up loftily in the air for one turn, thereby semi-invulnerating it for the initial turn. On the secondary turn, it will hit the opponent, thereby inflicting damage with a 30%-chance secondary effect of paralyzing them.

On the initial turn, the user will still be susceptible to more aerodynamic moves in Gust, Twister, Thunder, Hurricane, Smack Down, Sky Arrows, Thousand Arrows, and Sky Uppercut. Additionally, if the user or its opponent is a No Guard-possessor, it its semi-invulnerability will be nullified, thereby making it attackable.
