'''Razor Leaf''' ({{ja|はっぱカッター|Happa Kattā}}, ''Leaf Cutter'') is a move that appears in ''Brawl'' as {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}'s [[side special move]]. Ivysaur shoots a large, single leaf, which knocks opponents back significantly for a ranged move. | |||

With this move, Ivysaur sends a leaf as a ranged attack, making between 5%-8% of damage. It may curve mildly in a random direction at the end of its reach. It is very useful for canceling others' attacks. This strategy is often used when recovering back on to the stage with Ivysaur, as its [[up special move]] is only a tether recovery (see [[Vine Whip]]) and a projectile must be used to clear [[edge-guard]]ers and [[edge-hog]]s. Nonetheless, despite the leaf's long range, it will disappear after a short while and has a slight arc, so Ivysaur players must be in a decent position to the opponent before unleashing the move. Razor Leaf can actually be "Smash-thrown", like {{SSBB|Samus}}'s [[missile]]s, by tapping {{Button|GCN|Control Stick|R-S|s=20px}}. This makes the leaf travel a bit faster, and about a character or two character lengths further, but the trajectory cannot be arced as effectively. Due to its high startup lag, low knockback, slow speed, and unpredictable trajectory, it is considered to be one of the worst projectiles in ''Brawl''. | |||

Razor Leaf is a Physical (as of Generation IV) Grass-type attack introduced in Generation I. It is used exclusively by Grass-type Pokémon. It has 55 power and 95 accuracy, but it can hit all opponents in a double battle and has a 12.5% chance of doing a critical hit, which is bigger than most attacks' chance of 6.25%. Also, in ''Brawl'', Ivysaur launches a single leaf, while the animation for the move on Pokémon shows a flurry of leaves hitting the opponent. Also interesting to note is that because of the nuances of the battle system in Generation I, Razor Leaf would critically hit 99.6% of the time for most users and critical hits itself would also ignore any stat boosts and decreases made by the attacking and defending Pokémon, making it one of the more powerful moves back then. | |||

* [[Venusaur]] - When Venusaur appears in [[Saffron City]], it shoots multiple Razor Leaves in one direction, racking damage and causing moderate knockback. | |||
*[[Venusaur]] - When Venusaur appears | * [[Chikorita]] - Chikorita appears from a [[Poké Ball]] in Melee and Brawl where it uses Razor Leaf in similar fashion to Venusaur, but these have minimal knockback, allowing for even better damage racking, or even edgeduarding. Chikorita produces the leaves by shaking the leaf on its head. Strangely, depsite the prescense of a grass effect element in ''Brawl'', these leaves just use the slash effect. | ||
*[[Chikorita]] - Chikorita appears | * [[Snivy]] - Snivy can appear from a [[Poké Ball]] in [[SSB4]]. Its Razor Leaf works similarly to Chikorita's version, but the leaves are more spread out. | ||
