'''Razor Leaf''' ({{ja|はっぱカッター|Happa Kattā}}, ''Leaf Cutter'') is a move that appears in ''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate'' as [[Ivysaur]]'s [[side special move]]. Ivysaur shoots a large, single leaf, which knocks opponents back significantly for a ranged move.
'''Razor Leaf''' ({{ja|はっぱカッター|Happa Kattā}}, ''Leaf Cutter'') is [[Ivysaur]]'s [[side special move]]. Razor Leaf is also used by several non-playable Pokémon in the series.


==Overview==
==Overview==
When this move is used, Ivysaur sends out a single large leaf as a [[projectile]], which flies horizontally forward, disappearing after about one second. The leaf's trajectory curves randomly by a moderate amount; for example, it may fly slightly downards mid-flight and upwards near its end. Although the leaf can only hit a given target once, it does not disappear upon hitting a target, allowing it to pierce through and hit multiple targets.
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''.


The leaf has three levels of power based on how long it has been active and thus how far it has traveled. It is most powerful for the first third of its lifetime (8% [[damage]]), becomes weaker in the middle (6%), and weaker still towards its end (4%). The leaf hits for low [[knockback]], with the knockback also decreasing with the power level.
==Origin==
 
[[File:RazorLeaf.png|thumb|right|Razor Leaf in Generation VI Pokémon games.]]
The leaf can be flung farther by executing the move with a [[tap]] input of the [[control stick]]. This increases the leaf's distance and speed to about twice as much as when the move is executed with a tilt input. The leaf's other properties, such as lifetime and power, remain the same regardless of input.
Razor Leaf is a Physical (as of Generation IV) Grass-type attack introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}, which consists of the Pokémon shooting a flurry of leaves (unlike Ivysaur's single leaf) at the opponent. While weak, it has an increased chance of dealing a {{iw|bulbapedia|critical hit}}, and it can hit all adjacent opponents in a double or triple battle.

==Use by other Pokémon==
==Use by other Pokémon==
There are also Pokémon other than Ivysaur that have used Razor Leaf:
* [[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 on [[Saffron City]], it shoots multiple Razor Leaves in one direction, racking up damage and causing moderate knockback.
* [[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 as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where it uses Razor Leaf in similar fashion to Venusaur. Chikorita produces the leaves by shaking the leaf on its head. These leaves have minimal knockback, allowing for better damaging capability than Venusaur's. Despite the existence of the {{b|grass|effect}} hit effect in ''Brawl'', these leaves use the [[slash]] effect.
* [[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.
*[[Snivy]] - Snivy appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Its Razor Leaf works similarly to Chikorita's, but the leaves are more spread out.

In the {{uv|Pokémon}} series, Razor Leaf is a physical Grass-type move introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}} which consists of the Pokémon shooting a flurry of leaves at the opponent. While weak, it has an increased chance of dealing a {{iw|bulbapedia|critical hit}} and can hit all adjacent opponents in a double or triple battle. Ivysaur can learn Razor Leaf at level 30 in ''Pokémon Red and Green'' and has continued to ever since.
