Effect
Generation II
Mud-Slap inflicts damage and has a 99.6% chance of lowering the target's accuracy stat by one stage.
Generation III onwards
Mud-Slap now always lowers the target's accuracy by one stage.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Mud-Slap inflicts damage and obscures the user, making attacks targeting the user more likely to miss.
Mud-Slap can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra four appeal points if any of the moves Mud Sport, Sand-Attack or Sandstorm was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing the base appeal of Mud Sport and Sand-Attack to be doubled if used in the next turn.
