Population Bomb

Hits twice per use.

Population Bomb deals damage and hits the target up to ten times per use with an average power of 117.24.
If any strike of Population Bomb fails the accuracy and evasion check, the move stops.
Each strike of Population Bomb is treated like a separate attack:

• 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.
• If the user is holding a King's Rock each individual hit has an equal chance to make the target flinch

The ability Skill Link and the item Loaded Dice cause Population Bomb to only check accuracy and evasion checks once. Loaded Dice will hit for 4 to 10 times (even likelihood) and Skill Link will hit 10 times.
