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.

Trivia

  • The Pokémon with the highest potential base power for this move is Mega Steelix.
    • The non-Mega Pokémon with the highest potential base power for this move is Snorlax.
    • Only the 85 (including mega forms) heaviest Pokémon (less than 15% of all Pokémon) will not experience a 120 base power Heavy Slam from a Mega Steelix, due to the majority of Pokémon weighing less than 148kg (20% of 740kg).
    • Including STAB, Mega Steelix has the strongest Heavy Slam.
  • With the weight of 21.8 lbs., Tepig is the lightest Pokémon that can have this move.
