Horn Drill (Japanese: つのドリル Horn Drill) is a Template:Type2 one-hit knockout move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Horn Drill inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. Horn Drill will break a Substitute on contact, and can be countered for infinite damage if and when it breaks a Substitute.

Horn Drill will not affect a target whose current Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

Generation II and on

Unlike in Generation I, Horn Drill can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level.

Horn Drill can be countered for infinite damage if it misses in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. However, this does not apply to Pokémon Stadium 2 and later games.
