Reversal (Japanese: きしかいせい Reversal) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II that deals a varying amount of damage. It can be considered the inverse of Eruption and Water Spout.

Effect

Reversal doesn't have a standard Power; rather, it inflicts greater damage when the user's HP is lower. Reversal's power is calculated as follows:

User's Remaining HP	Power
71% - 100%	20
36% - 70%	40
21% - 35%	80
11% - 20%	100
5% - 10%	150
1% - 4%	200
