Detailed Effect

Bullet Seed deals damage and hits 2-5 times per turn used.
The probability of each interval is shown in the table below, with the total power after each hit.
Hits Chance Power
2 35% 50
3 35% 75
4 15% 100
5 15% 125
Each strike of Bullet Seed 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 item img, or Focus Band item img 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 item img each individual hit has an equal chance to make the target flinch status condition img
The Skill Link ability will cause Bullet Seed to always hit the maximum number of times.
  • In Gen 3, Bullet Seed ends immediately if any hit breaks a Substitute.
  • In Gen 3-4, if a Focus Sash item img or Focus Band item img 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, see the table below for detailed information:
    Hits Chance Power
    2 37.5% 20
    3 37.5% 30
    4 12.5% 40
    5 12.5% 50
