- Abilities that activate on contact (Static, Weak Armor, Iron Barbs etc.) activate for each strike.
- If the Sturdy ability,

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

- In Gen 2-4, if a
Focus Sash
or Focus Band
activates before the final hit, subsequent hits do not cause the holder to faint.
