Multi-strike move: Difference between revisions

If the target of a multi-strike move has an [[Contact#Abilities|Ability that activates upon contact]], each hit counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times. If such an Ability causes the Pokémon to fall asleep or freeze, the attack will immediately end without being fully executed. The number of hits is shown before the target faints.

If a multi-strike move breaks a substitute (and didn't use the last hit to break it), the move continues, striking the Pokémon that was behind the substitute. A [[Focus Sash]] activated by a multi-strike move will protect the holder from the rest of the attack. Pokémon with the {{a|Skill Link}} Ability are guaranteed that any 2-5 hit multi-strike move they use will hit the full five times. The [[Razor Fang]] will take each hit into consideration when determining whether or not the opponent will flinch.
