night march

Walking after dark

A night march is a military movement conducted after dark, typically to avoid detection, gain tactical advantage, or cover distance while preserving daylight for combat.

The term extends to any organized group traveling on foot through darkness: The protesters staged a night march through downtown.

In Pokémon games, a Night March is a specific deck strategy built around attacking with fainted Pokémon.
