What "attacking" moves can bypass sucker punch?

Mar. 5, 2013



I’ve heard sucker punch fails against nature power, as well as other priorty moves and both stages of moves like fly. What other “attacking” moves (like metronome or sleep talk which don’t technically straight up attack) does sucker punch fail against? Also, are there any other direct attacking moves that duck sucker punch due to loop holes? Barring moves like fly and quick attack, anyway?

Sucker Punch does damage and is an increased priority move. If the target does not use an increased priority move during the round that it is used, Sucker Punch will go first regardless of the user’s or target’s Speed. If the target also uses an increased priority move during the same round that the user uses Sucker Punch, the attack order of the users will be determined normally.

So basically priority moves will go before it.
