'''Tail Slap''' (Japanese: '''スイープビンタ''' ''Sweep Slap'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[multi-hit move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Minccino}} and {{p|Cinccino}}.

Tail Slap 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 75. Each hit made has an equal chance to be a [[critical hit]]. A Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Skill Link}} will always hit five times when using Tail Slap, if it does not miss.  

Tail Slap will continue attacking after a {{m|Substitute}} is broken. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.

If [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], or {{a|Sturdy}} activate before the last hit is dealt, the following hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint; however, [[Focus Band]] can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting. Each hit will cause {{a|Weak Armor}} to activate.

If the target has [[Contact#List of Abilities which have effects involving contact|an Ability which activates upon contact]], each hit counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

If the target is holding a [[Sticky Barb]] or [[Rocky Helmet]], the user is damaged for each hit.

{{movedescentry|BWConquest|The user attacks by striking the target with its hard tail. It hits the Pokémon two to five times in a row.}}
