These moves are more likely to hit 2 or 3 times, and will hit 3 times on average, but will always have the maximum of 5 hits when used by a Pokémon with {{a|Skill Link}}. | ||

It can hit an opponent three times in one turn, but its base power of 10 will increase by 10 with each subsequent hit. However, unlike other multi-strike moves, each hit has its own accuracy check, and once one hit misses, the entire move is ended. | ||
