-Arm Thrust inflicts damage, hitting the target between 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Each attack made has an equal chance to land a critical hit.
+Arm Thrust inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. This gives the attack an average power of 45, given that it does not miss. Each hit made has an equal chance to land a critical hit.
 Arm Thrust will end immediately if it breaks a {{m|Substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.
-Taking the average number of hits into account, Arm Thrust could be considered to have an effective power of 45, ignoring the possibility of missing.
