Effect Summary

User pays 50% of its max HP stat img to max out its Attack stat img to +6 stages.

Detailed Effect

Belly Drum sacrifices 50% of the user's maximum HP stat img to raise its own Attack stat img to the maximum of +6 stages.
This works even if the user's Attack stat img was lowered below normal before.
Belly Drum fails if the user would faint by using it or if the user's Attack stat img was already at +6 stages (even if it has the ability Contrary.
If the Attack stat img is not already at +6 stages and the user has the ability Contrary the Attack stat img will be lowered to the minimum of -6 stages and deduct HP stat img .
  • In Gen 2 there is a bug that causes the Attack stat img to be raised by 2 stages even if Belly Drum failed because the user would faint by using it.
