Pin Missile inflicts damage, hitting the target between 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. Therefore, on average the attack will hit three times, with a total base power of 42. Although only the first hit can be a [[Damage modification#critical hit|critical hit]], each hit per use will deal the same amount of damage.
