Bone Rush
Effect Summary
Hits 2-5 times per use.
Detailed Effect
Bone Rush deals damage and hits 2-5 times per turn used. Averages to 3.1 hits per use with an average power of 69.8 (including the 10% miss chance).
The probability of each interval is shown in the table below, with the total power after each hit.
Each strike of Bone Rush is treated like a separate attack:
Hits | Chance | Power |
---|---|---|
2 | 35% | 50 |
3 | 35% | 75 |
4 | 15% | 100 |
5 | 15% | 125 |
- Each strike can get a critical hit independently.
- Abilities that activate on contact (Static, Weak Armor, Iron Barbs etc.) activate for each strike.
- 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.
- If the first hit breaks a Substitute, the second hit will deal damage to the target Pokémon.
- The move Counter only counters the final hit, but Bide counters the complete damage.
- If the user is holding a
King's Rock
each individual hit has an equal chance to make the target flinch
- In Gen 2-3, Bone Rush ends immediately if any hit breaks a Substitute.
- In Gen 2-4, Bone Rush has 80%
accuracy
and if a Focus Sash
or Focus Band
activates before the final hit, subsequent hits do not cause the holder to faint.
The probability of strike amounts is also different with an average amount of 3 hits per use and an average power per use of 60 (including the 20% miss chance), see the table below for detailed information:Hits Chance Power 2 37.5% 50 3 37.5% 75 4 12.5% 100 5 12.5% 125
