'''Multi-strike moves''' are [[move]]s that strike an opponent more than one time in the same turn. Most multi-strike moves will hit the opponent 2-5 times in a turn, but some work differently. Multi-strike moves generally have low base power and imperfect accuracy to compensate for the fact that they hit multiple times. {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} only take the final hit of a multi-strike move into consideration.

If an opponent is knocked out by a multi-strike move, the game does not state how many times the attack hit.

Although only the first strike can be a [[critical hit]], each successive one will deal the same amount of damage. Multi-strike moves end instantly upon breaking a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} deal damage based on the last strike alone.

{{a|Color Change}} will activate after the first hit of a multi-strike move, possibly changing the [[Type chart|type effectiveness]] of the remaining strikes.


Each strike from a multi-strike move has an independent chance of activating an {{cat|Abilities that activate upon taking damage|Ability that activates on taking damage}}, and each strike of a multi-strike move that makes [[contact]] has an independent chance of activating an [[Contact#Abilities|Ability that activates on contact]]. If a Pokémon using a multi-strike move falls {{status|sleep|asleep}} or faints between strikes, such as due to {{a|Effect Spore}} or {{a|Rough Skin}}, the move will end immediately.

In every Generation III game except for {{v2|Emerald}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, due to {{DL|List of battle glitches (Generation III)|Multi-strike moves inflict status upon their target|a glitch}}, if a Pokémon uses a multi-strike move other than {{m|Triple Kick}} against a target with an [[Ability]] that inflicts a [[status condition]] on [[contact]], and the move's user triggers this Ability with the move's final strike, there is a 1% chance that the target also becomes afflicted by the status condition inflicted by their Ability.


If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]], each strike now has an independent chance of causing the target to flinch.

If a [[Loaded Dice]] is held, moves that hit 2-5 times now hit 4-5 times; {{m|Triple Axel}} and {{m|Triple Kick}} will only have one accuracy check; {{m|Population Bomb}} will also only have one accuracy check, and it will hit 4-10 times.
