 ==Effect==
-Water Shuriken deals damage and is an increased [[priority]] move. It can strike two to five times in a row.
+Water Shuriken deals damage and is an increased [[priority]] move, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a 16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 16.7% chance it will hit 5 times. Ignoring the possibility of missing, it will hit 3.168 times on average, giving it an average power of 47.52. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a [[critical hit]].
+Water Shuriken may continue attacking after breaking a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.
+If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}} or [[Contact#Abilities|an Ability that activates upon contact]], each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.
+If a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, or {{a|Sturdy}} activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.
