Comet Punch 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. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit 3 times on average, giving it an average power of 54. Although only the first strike can be a [[critical hit]], each successive one will deal the same amount of damage. Comet Punch will end instantly upon breaking a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} deal damage based on the last strike alone.

Each strike has an independent chance of being a critical hit, as well as activating a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}}. If Comet Punch activates a target's {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, no subsequent hits can knock it out.

===Generations III and IV===

Comet Punch may now continue attacking after breaking a substitute. Each strike has an independent chance of activating a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} or a {{DL|Contact|Abilities|contact Ability}}. If {{a|Effect Spore}} causes the attacker to fall asleep, the move will end immediately. If Comet Punch activates the target's {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} or {{a|Sturdy}}, no subsequent hits can knock it out.

There is now a ~33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a ~33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a ~16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a ~16.7% chance it will hit 5 times. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit ~3.167 times on average, giving it an average power of 57.

If a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, or {{a|Sturdy}} activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one. Each individual strike will activate {{a|Weak Armor}} or a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}}. {{m|Spiky Shield}} and {{m|King's Shield}} only activate once. {{a|Parental Bond}} does not activate when using Comet Punch.
