Confuse Ray

GhostStatus

Confuse Ray causes the target to become confused. Confused Pokémon have a 33% chance of hurting themselves each turn, for 1-4 attacking turns (50% chance in Generations 1-6). The damage received is as if the Pokémon attacks itself with a typeless 40 base power Physical attack. Pokémon with the ability Own Tempo or those behind a Substitute cannot be confused.
