-Resembling a weaker version of [[Explosion]], Selfdestruct inflicts damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is listed as 130, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 260. The game will bump 0 up to 1 to avoid infinite damage, so Selfdestruct will then effectively have a power of 130 if used against a target with a defense value of 1.

 If Selfdestruct breaks a target's {{m|Substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Selfdestruct had a Substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.
