Effect

In Battle

Any Pokémon that hears this song faints in three turns unless it switches out of battle. Perfect for a last resort effort on a trainer, and even better if the opponent is down to their last Pokémon.

Contests

Badly startles all Pokémon that made good appeals.

Super Contests

Lowers the Voltage of all Judges by one each.
