Low Kick (Japanese: けたぐり Kick Down) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generations I and II

Low Kick has a power of 50 and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch. Accuracy in this Generation is 90%.

Low Kick cannot make a target with a substitute flinch.

Generation III onwards

Low Kick now has 100% accuracy, and its power is now dependent on the weight of the target, inflicting greater damage on heavier targets. Its power is calculated as follows (note that the game used weight in kilograms instead of pounds for all the cutoffs):

Target's Weight (metric) (imperial) Power
0.1 - 9.9 kg 0.1 - 21.8 lb
20
10.0 - 24.9 kg 21.9 - 55.0 lb
40
25.0 - 49.9 kg 55.1 - 110.0 lb
60
50.0 - 99.9 kg 110.2 - 220.2 lb
80
100.0 - 199.9 kg 220.4 - 440.7 lb
100
200.0 kg or more 440.9 lb or more
120


Low Kick no longer has the effect to potentially cause the target to flinch.

Trivia

  • Low Sweep is called ローキック Low Kick in Japanese versions.
    • Similarly, Meteor Mash is called コメットパンチ Comet Punch in Japanese versions.
    • This caused a mistake in the English dub of the anime episode Ash and Trip's Third Battle!, where Low Sweep is mistakenly called Low Kick.
  • This move is based on the sumo technique, "ketaguri," a kimarite in which the attacker leaps aside at the tachiai and sweeps his opponent's front leg from the inside while slapping the shoulder or pulling the arm.
