Razor Leaf

Razor Leaf is Ivysaur's Side Special Move. Though it shares its name with Poké Ball Pokémon Chikorita, it is functionally different; Ivysaur shoots a large, single leaf, whereas Chikorita shoots a barrage of small leaves. However, they do both knock the opponent back significantly for a ranged move. With this move, Ivysaur sends a leaf as a ranged attack, making between 5%-8% of damage. It may curve mildly in a random direction at the end of its reach. Very good for cancelling others' attacks. This strategy is often used when recovering back on to the stage with Ivysaur, as his Up-Bis only a tether recovery (see Vine Whip) and a projectile must be used to clear edge-guarders and edge-hogs. Nonetheless, despite the leaf's long range, it will disappear after a short while and has a slight arc, so Ivysour players must be in a decent position to the opponent before unleashing the move.
