'''Recoil''' is damage a Pokémon can receive upon using a damaging [[move]]. {{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}} causes damage similar to recoil when its holder uses a damaging attacking move; however, this damage is relative to the holder's max {{DL|Stats|Hit Points|HP}}, not the damage dealt, and is not considered recoil by game mechanics. The moves {{m|Jump Kick}} and {{m|High Jump Kick}} have recoil known as '''crash damage'''. The recoil on these moves is only dealt if the move misses, rather than upon inflicting damage to an opposing Pokémon. | '''Recoil''' is damage a Pokémon can receive upon using a damaging [[move]]. {{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}} causes damage similar to recoil when its holder uses a damaging attacking move; however, this damage is relative to the holder's max {{DL|Stats|Hit Points|HP}}, not the damage dealt, and is not considered recoil by game mechanics.

A number of times in the anime, recoil has been noted. The most notable is {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Volt Tackle}}. {{an|Brock}} has stated many times that Volt Tackle causes recoil and is very risky. | A number of times in the anime, recoil has been noted.
