Effect Summary

Hits twice per use.

Detailed Effect

Twin Beam deals damage twice for 40 power each.
Each strike of Twin Beam 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 SashItem Icon for Focus Sash, or Focus BandItem Icon for 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 target is wearing a Rocky HelmetItem Icon for Rocky Helmet each strike will hurt the user.
If the user is holding a King's RockItem Icon for King's Rock or a Razor FangItem Icon for Razor Fang the final strike has a chance to cause the target to flinchStatus Condition Icon for Flinch
