Beat Up
Effect Summary
Hits once for every ally without a
major status condition.
Detailed Effect
Beat Up deals damage from each ally on the field that does not have a
major status condition.
Each strike of Beat Up is treated like a separate attack:
( Attack
of the Pokémon) / 10 + 5
Each strike of Beat Up is treated like a separate attack:
- Each strike can get a
critical hit
independently.
- Abilities that activate on contact (Static, Weak Armor, Iron Barbs etc.) activate for each strike.
- In Gen 2-3 Beat Up will end immediately if the first strike breaks a Substitute. Bide and Counter will only count for the second strike of this move.
- If the user is holding a
King's Rock
, the final strike has a chance to cause the target to flinch
.
- In Gen 3-4 the chance to make the target
flinch
is equal across all hits for user's holding King's Rock
or Razor Fang
- If the Sturdy ability,
Focus Sash
, or Focus Band
activates before the final hit, the subsequent hit will still deal damage and therefore cause the target to faint. (This is not the case in Gen 2-4)
( Attack

- In Gen 2-3 Beat Up is categorized as
Special
- In Gen 2-4 Beat Up has 10 power and each attack from an ally Pokémon does typeless damage (using each ally's base attack stat, not altered by attack boosts).
