On Smogon's Movedex: Generation IX

Flower Trick (Japanese: トリックフラワー Trick Flower) is a damage-dealing Grass-type move introduced in Generation IX. It is the signature move of Meowscarada.

Effect

Flower Trick inflicts damage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. It will always result in a critical hit unless the target has Battle Armor or Shell Armor.
