Payback (Japanese: しっぺがえし Retribution) is a damage-dealing Dark-type move introduced in Generation IV. It was TM66 from Generation IV to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and TM57 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Effect

  This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: Whether it matters which Pokémon's turn is used to use an item in a Double Battle in Generation IV.
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Generation IV

Payback inflicts damage. Its power doubles to 100 if the user moves after the target, if the target switches out, or if the opponent uses an item.

Generation V onwards

Payback's power no longer doubles if the target switches out.

Payback gives the user the Counter status condition. With this status condition, the user will reflect any damage taken from physical moves (including the regular A button attack) back to any adjacent opponents equal to the damage received. Oddly in Explorers of Time and Darkness, though moves are assigned as Physical or Special in game, Payback will return damage from damaging moves from types previously assigned as physical prior to the Physical/Special split. The status lasts for 7-12RBTDS / 6GtISMD turns.
