Effect Summary

Hits twice per use.

Double Hit deals damage twice for 35 power each.
Each strike of Double Hit 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.

If the user is holding a King's Rock

the final strike has a chance to cause the target to flinch

In Legends: Arceus Double Hit is a Status move with 10 PP and causes the user to become 'Primed' which increases the power of the user's attack moves by 10%. It also increases the user's action speed.
