Confuse Ray is a special move in the Pokémon series that can be used by certain Pokémon. When a Pokémon uses Confuse Ray, it creates a mysterious light that confuses the target. A confused Pokémon has a chance to hurt itself instead of attacking, making it harder for the opponent to battle effectively. This move is often used strategically in battles to disrupt the opponent's plans. Confuse Ray can be particularly useful against strong attackers, as it increases the likelihood of them missing their moves or damaging themselves. Overall, it adds an element of unpredictability to Pokémon battles.
