Cut deals damage with no additional effect in battle.

When a Pokémon is holding Normalium Z and uses its Z-Power, Cut turns into Breakneck Blitz and has base power 100.

Cut is used to tear down small trees in your path. In Generations 1-6 it can only be used with the appropriate Gym Badge.

In Generations 1-3, Cut can also remove patches of grass. In Emerald, Pokémon with the Hyper Cutter ability remove a larger patch of grass.
