Description

Games	Description
RSE	Allows a full-power attack, but sharply lowers Sp.Atk.
FRLG	An intense attack that also sharply reduces the user's Sp. Atk stat.
DPPtHGSS	The user attacks the foe at full power. The attack's recoil sharply reduces the user's Sp. Atk stat.
BWB2W2	The user attacks the target at full power. The attack's recoil harshly reduces the user's Sp. Atk stat.
XYORAS SMUSUM	The user attacks the target at full power. The attack's recoil harshly lowers the user's Sp. Atk stat.

Effect

The user fires tremendous infernos at the opponent, inflicting solemn amounts of damage. However, it harshly lowers the user's special attack stat.
