Attacks (Japanese: こうげき Kougeki) are one of four types of moves Yo-kai can use in the videogames. They are offensive moves that will always deal neutral damage (unless the Yo-kai possesses the Penetrate skill), based on the Yo-kai's Strength stat. Yo-kai with a Grouchy or Rough attitude are more likely to select their Attack during battles. Using Hidden Hits will increase an Attack's power, up to a cap.

Trivia
- Double Slice's Japanese name, Tsubame-gaeshi, references the signature technique of legendary master swordsman Sasaki Kojirō: it slashed the target twice rapidly, drawing a swallow tail pattern through the air. Incidentally, the Pokémon move Aerial Ace shares the same Japanese name.
