Memento (move)

Memento (Japanese: おきみやげ Memento) is a non-damaging move introduced in Generation III.

Effect
Memento causes the user to faint and in return lowers the and  stat of the target by two stages each.

The user will not faint if Memento fails (such as if it has no target or is blocked by ), if the target is immune (such as due to being when Memento is boosted by  in Generation VII), or if it is blocked by a. However, the user will faint even if Memento is unable to affect the target's stats (such as due to or if both stats are already at -6).

Memento can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves, or  was used in the prior turn.

If powered up by a Darkinium Z into Z-Memento, if a Pokémon is switched in to replace the user the same turn, that Pokémon has its HP fully restored (even if Z-Memento was not used successfully after gaining its Z-Power effect). Due to a glitch, this effect is not applied in version 1.0 of Sun and Moon.
