Seismic Toss (Japanese: ちきゅうなげ Earth Throw) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.
Effect
Seismic Toss inflicts damage equal to the user's level. The damage is not altered by weakness or resistance, except when a Pokémon is immune. Seismic Toss doesn't receive STAB.
In Generation I, Seismic Toss hits Template:Type2 Pokémon, even though the type has immunity to Fighting-type moves. In subsequent generations, the type mechanics were corrected so that Ghost-type Pokémon correctly became immune to Seismic Toss.
