Metal Burst (move): Difference between revisions

Metal Burst returns 1.5 times the damage dealt by the foe's last attack. Only the last damage taken will be counted, if the user is hit by a multi-hit move, only the damage from the final hit will be counted. Unlike {{m|Counter}} or {{m|Mirror Coat}}, Metal Burst does not require specifically [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] damage sources and Metal Burst does not have decreased [[priority]]; if the user acts before it is hit by an opponent's damaging move, Metal Burst will fail. The move also fails if the user's {{OBP|doll|substitute}} is hit instead. In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Metal Burst will hit the last opponent that dealt damage to the user, even if that opponent is not adjacent to the user. However, if the last Pokémon to hit the user faints before the user moves, the remaining enemy Pokémon will be hit instead, like with a regular single-target damaging move (using the damage taken from the move of the now-fainted Pokémon that had hit the user). Metal Burst cannot affect allied Pokémon.
