 ===Generation I===
-Twineedle inflicts damage, striking twice per use. Each hit has a 20% chance of {{status|poison}}ing the target. Although only the first hit can be a [[critical hit]], the second hit will deal the same amount of damage.
+Twineedle inflicts damage, hitting the target twice per use. Each strike has a 20% chance of {{status|poison}}ing the target. Although only the first strike can be a [[critical hit]], the second one will deal the same amount of damage.
-Twineedle will not hit twice if the first hit breaks a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the second hit of this move.
+Twineedle will end immediately if the first strike breaks a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the second strike of this move.
 ===Generation II===
-Same as Generation I, except now it can {{status|poison}} {{t|Steel}}- and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. Also, both hits will do damage independently, consequently enabling either of them to be critical.
+Each strike now does damage independently, consequently enabling either of them to be critical.
+In this generation only, Twineedle can {{status|poison}} {{t|Steel}}- and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
 ===Generations III and IV===
-Same as Generation II, but it cannot poison {{t|Steel}}- and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
+Twineedle will now hit again if the first strike breaks a substitute.
-Twineedle may continue attacking after a substitute is broken.
+===Generation V and VI===
+If the first strike activates the target's {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, or {{a|Sturdy}}, the second one will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate again to prevent fainting, but this chance is independent of the previous one.
-===Generation V===
+If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}}, each strike will activate it.
-Unlike previous generations, if the first hit activates the target's [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], or {{a|Sturdy}}, the second hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint; however, [[Focus Band]] can still activate again to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one. Each hit will cause {{a|Weak Armor}} to activate.
