Heavy Slam (Japanese: ヘビーボンバー Heavy Bomber) is a damage-dealing Steel-type move introduced in Generation V.

Effect

Heavy Slam deals varying damage depending on the weight of both the user and the target. The heavier the user is in comparison to its target, the more damage will be inflicted. The base power varies as follows:

• 120 base power, if target's weight is less than or equal to ⅕ (20%) of user's weight.
• 100 base power, if target's weight is greater than ⅕ (20%) of user's weight and less than or equal to ¼ (25%) of user's weight.
• 80 base power, if target's weight is greater than ¼ (25%) of user's weight and less than or equal to ⅓ (33.3%) of user's weight.
• 60 base power, if target's weight is greater than ⅓ (33.3%) of user's weight and less than or equal to ½ of user's weight (50%).
• 40 base power, if target's weight is greater than ½ (50%) of user's weight.

Description

Games Description The user slams into the target with its heavy body. The more the user outweighs the target, the greater its damage.

Trivia

• The Pokémon with the highest potential base power for this move is an Aggron with Heavy Metal.
  • In fact, only the 63 heaviest Pokémon (less than 10% of all Pokémon) will not experience a 120 base power Heavy Slam from this Aggron, due to the majority of Pokémon weighing less than 144kg. (20% of 720kg)
• Without Abilities, the heaviest Pokémon that can learn this move is Snorlax, despite being only sixth heaviest of all Pokémon. The lightest Pokémon that can have this move is Tepig.
