==Effect==
[[Category:Abilities]]
===In battle===
[[de:Schnepfenjagen]]
Sniper increases [[critical hit]] damage by 50%.
 
====Generation IV====
Critical hits will do 3× damage instead of 2× damage. Sniper cannot be activated by {{m|Beat Up}}.
 
====Generation V====
Sniper can now be activated by Beat Up. Additionally, rather than changing the critical hit multiplier directly, Sniper now multiplies by 1.5 the damage dealt by a move that deals a critical hit, applied last to [[damage]] as part of the "final" modifiers that get applied to the damage, resulting in virtually the same effect.
 
====Generation VI onward====
Critical hits will now effectively do only 2.25× damage, as a result of the critical hit multiplier being lowered to 1.5×.
 
===Outside of battle===
Sniper has no effect outside of battle.
