Pokémon UNITE
In Pokémon UNITE, Psycho Cut is Absol's second move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 and upgrading Slash into it instead of Sucker Punch. The user throws a wide slash in front, damaging, debuffing, and slowing the Pokémon hit. This debuff applies extra damage for the next 3 times the user hits the debuffed Pokémon with an auto attack or a Psycho Cut. At level 13, the user's movement speed is increased near debuffed enemies.
