Double Kick
Fighting
Effect Summary
Deals damage twice per use.
Detailed Effect
Double Kick deals damage twice for 30 power each.
Each strike of Double Kick is treated like a separate attack:
Each strike of Double Kick 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.
- In Gen 1-3 Double Kick will end immediately if the first strike breaks a Substitute. Bide and Counter will only count for the second strike of this move.
- If the user is holding a King's Rock
, the final strike has a chance to cause the target to flinch
.
- In Gen 3-4 the chance to make the target flinch
- 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. (This is not the case in Gen 2-4)
- In Gen 1 Multi-Strike attacks critical strike is determined by the first instance of damage. If the first hit is a critical strike, the rest will also be.
