Horn Attack is a move from the Pokémon video games, used by horned Pokémon to charge and strike an opponent with a sharp horn blow. The short sound effect recreates that attack in game audio, and it has travelled beyond the games through gameplay clips, battle compilations and meme edits shared online. Because it is instantly recognisable to Pokémon fans and works without any dialogue, creators keep reusing it as a quick audio punch for charges, tackles and surprise hits in short-form videos.
