Effect Summary

Hits twice per use and has a 30% chance to make the target flinch status condition img.

Detailed Effect

Double Iron Bash deals damage twice and each hit has a 30% chance to make the target flinch status condition img (if the target has not moved yet).
Pokémon with the ability Inner Focus or those behind a Substitute cannot be made to flinch.
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 Gen 7 Double Iron Bash's power is doubled if the target used Minimize before.
  • In Brilliant DiamondShining Pearl and Gen 9 this move can not be selected in battle.
