Effect Summary

Deals damage and its power increases against targets with more HP

remaining, up to a maximum of 121 power.

Crush Grip deals damage and has greater power when the target's current HP

% is high.
Crush Grip's power is calculated by multiplying the target's current HP % by 120 meaning that if the target has 50 out of 100 maximum HP

Crush Grip has 120 x 50% = 60 power. Crush Grip deals a minimum of 1 damage.

In Gen 4 Crush Grip has a minimum of 1 damage added to its calculation, so it varies between 1 and 121.
In early versions of SwordShield Crush Grip can not be selected in battle (fixed in version 1.3.0).
In Legends: Arceus Crush Grip has 100 power.
