'''Tail Slap''' (Japanese: '''スイープビンタ''' ''Sweep Slap'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[multi-strike 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 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. Ignoring the possibility of missing, it will hit 3.168 times on average, giving it an average power of 79.2. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a [[critical hit]].

If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}} or [[Contact#Abilities|an Ability that activates upon contact]], each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

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.

If the target is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}}, the user is damaged for each strike.

Tail Slap is the only move of {{p|Cinccino}}, and targets an area three tiles wide in front of the user (forward and diagonally). If there are multiple Pokémon in the target area and the move fails to hit all of them, it will only hit each Pokémon once (instead of the usual two to five times).
