What is Fickle Beam in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk DLC?
This move is a dragon-type move that has the potential to hit with double the power. Players have reported that there seems to be a 30% chance for this move’s damage to get doubled.
When you use this move, “the user shoots a beam of light to inflict damage. Sometimes all the user’s heads shoot beams in unison, doubling the move’s power.” When the damage gets doubled, the power goes from 80 to 160, making it more than capable of one-shotting opponents.

This move has the following stats:
Type | Power | PP | Accuracy | Target | Attack Stat |
