 ===Generation I===
-DoubleSlap inflicts damage, hitting 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. On average, it will hit 3 times, giving it an average power of 45, ignoring the possibility of missing. Although only the first strike can be a [[critical hit]], each successive one will deal the same amount of damage.

-Unlike previous generations, if [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], or {{a|Sturdy}} activate before the last strike is dealt, the following one will cause the defending Pokémon to faint; however, [[Focus Band]] can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one. Each strike will cause {{a|Weak Armor}} to activate.
