Matcha Gotcha (Japanese: シャカシャカほう Rustle-Rustle Cannon) is a damage-dealing Grass-type move introduced in Generation IX. It is the signature move of Sinistcha.
Effect
This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: When targeting two opponents in a Double Battle in which one opponent has Liquid Ooze, does the user heal HP first, or does Liquid Ooze damage the user first? You can discuss this on the talk page. |
Matcha Gotcha deals damage and restores the user's HP equal to up to half of the damage dealt. It also has a 20% chance of burning targets.
Matcha Gotcha hits both opponents in a Double Battle.
If the user is holding a Big Root, the HP restored is increased by 30% (making the restored HP 65% of the damage dealt). Big Root does not increase the damage dealt.
If the target has the Ability Liquid Ooze, the user will lose the amount of HP it would have gained instead.
If either the user or the target is frozen, they will be thawed by Matcha Gotcha.
