Effect Summary

Hits twice per use.

Detailed Effect

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 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 target is wearing a Rocky Helmet item img each strike will hurt the user.
If the user is holding a King's Rock item img or a Razor Fang item img the final strike has a chance to cause the target to flinch status condition img
  • In Legends: Arceus Double Hit is a Status category img 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.
  • Aipom pokemon img will evolve into Ambipom pokemon img after leveling up while knowing this move at level 32.
