Best Moveset
Dark Pulse inflicts damage by releasing a horrible aura imbued with dark thoughts and it has a 20% chance of causing the target to flinch and can hit non-adjacent opponents. Dazzling Gleam inflicts damage to all adjacent opponents by emitting a powerful flash. Nasty Plot is a non-damaging Dark-type move, introduced in Generation IV, where Impidimp stimulates its brain by thinking bad thoughts and thus raises the user's Special Attack stat by two stages.
Nasty Plot is a part of Contest Spectacular combination and using it will cause Baton Pass and Stored Power to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn. Burning Jealousy inflicts damage to all adjacent opponents and will burn any opponent that has increased its stats during that turn. It ignores stat increases from Imposter when determining whether to burn an opponent while Dark Pulse is a damage-dealing Dark-type move introduced in Generation IV.
