==Effect==
===Generation I-III===
===Generation I===
Barrage inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Though technically only the first hit can critical hit, each hit per use will do the same amount of damage.

Although only the first strike can be a [[critical hit]], each successive one will deal the same amount of damage.
 
Barrage will end immediately if it breaks a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.
 
===Generation II===
All strikes now do damage independently, enabling any of them to be critical hits. Barrage may now continue attacking after breaking a substitute.


Barrage will end immediately if it breaks a {{m|Substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.
If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]], the final strike has a chance to cause the opponent to [[flinch]].


Taking the average number of hits into account, Barrage could be considered to have an effective power of 45.
===Generations III and IV===


===Generation IV===
If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]], each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to [[flinch]].
The effects of Barrage are similar to the previous generations; however, it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.


===Generation V===
===Generations V to VII===
Unlike previous generations, if [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], or {{a|Sturdy}} activate before the last hit is dealt, the following hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. Each hit will also cause {{a|Weak Armor}} to activate.
There is now a 35% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 35% chance it will hit 3 times, a 15% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 15% chance it will hit 5 times. The average total base power (including the 15% base miss chance) is now 39.5.
 
If a [[Focus Sash]] activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A [[Focus Band]] can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent. {{a|Sturdy}} will activate with each hit if the defending Pokémon has a maximum HP of 1.
 
If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}} or {{a|Stamina}}, each strike will activate it.
 
Barrage has no effect on targets with {{a|Bulletproof}}.
 
===Generation VIII onwards===
Barrage cannot be selected in a battle.

Barrage inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. Each hit has a separate accuracy check, though the move will continue even when a hit fails. Prior to {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, if a targeted Pokémon faints in middle of the attack, the remaining projectiles will be able to hit a new target. The move's critical-hit rate is reduced (2% in the Rescue Team, Explorers and Adventure Squad series). In [[Super Mystery Dungeon]], the move's range is increased to affect an area in a fan-like area up to 5 tiles away.

Barrage (Japanese: たまなげ Ball Throw) is a damage-dealing Normal-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation I. It is the signature move of Exeggcute and Exeggutor.

Effect

Generation I

Barrage inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Although only the first strike can be a critical hit, each successive one will deal the same amount of damage.

Barrage will end immediately if it breaks a substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

Generation II

All strikes now do damage independently, enabling any of them to be critical hits. Barrage may now continue attacking after breaking a substitute.

If the user is holding a King's Rock, the final strike has a chance to cause the opponent to flinch.

Generations III and IV

If the user is holding a King's Rock or Razor Fang, each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to flinch.

Generations V to VII

There is now a 35% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 35% chance it will hit 3 times, a 15% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 15% chance it will hit 5 times. The average total base power (including the 15% base miss chance) is now 39.5.

If a Focus Sash activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent. Sturdy will activate with each hit if the defending Pokémon has a maximum HP of 1.

If the target has Weak Armor or Stamina, each strike will activate it.

Barrage has no effect on targets with Bulletproof.

Generation VIII onwards

Barrage cannot be selected in a battle.

Barrage inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. Each hit has a separate accuracy check, though the move will continue even when a hit fails. Prior to Super Mystery Dungeon, if a targeted Pokémon faints in middle of the attack, the remaining projectiles will be able to hit a new target.
