A move that may confuse the foe.
Confuse Ray is a Ghost-type status move that inflicts confusion on the target. When a Pokémon is confused, there is a 50% chance that it will hurt itself in its confusion instead of executing its intended move each turn. This makes Confuse Ray a strategic move for disrupting the opponent's actions and potentially causing them to lose turns due to self-inflicted damage. In Polished Crystal, Confuse Ray can be learned by various Ghost-type Pokémon, providing them with a useful tool to impair their foes and gain an advantage in battle.
