Bonemerang
Effect Summary
Hits twice per use.
Detailed Effect
Bonemerang deals damage and hits 2 times for 50 power each.
Each strike of Bonemerang is treated like a separate attack:
or a
Razor Fang
the each strike has a chance to cause the target to
flinch

Each strike of Bonemerang 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.
- 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 target is wearing a
Rocky Helmet
each strike will hurt the user.
- In Gen 1, each hit will always deal the same damage - if the first is a critical hit, so will the rest.
- In Gen 1-3, Bonemerang ends immediately if any hit breaks a Substitute.
- In Gen 2-4, if a
Focus Sash
or Focus Band
activates before the final hit, subsequent hits do not cause the holder to faint.
- From Gen 9 onwards this move can not be selected in battle.
