Double Slap

Hits 2-5 times in one turn.

Double Slap (formatted as DoubleSlap in Gen. 1-5) deals damage and hits 2-5 times per turn used. Averages to 3 hits per use.
In Generation 1, each hit will always deal the same damage - if the first critical hits, so will the rest.
In Generations 1-3, Double Slap ends immediately if any hit breaks a Substitute.
In Generations 2-4, if a Focus Sash or Focus Band activates before the final hit, subsequent hits do not cause the holder to faint.
The probability of each interval is shown in the table below, with the total power after each hit.

Hits	Chance	Power
2	37,5%	30
3	37,5%	45
4	12,5%	60
5	12,5%	75

Each strike of Double Slap 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.

The Skill Link ability will cause Double Slap to always hit the maximum number of times.
