On Smogon's Movedex:

Fury Swipes (Japanese: みだれひっかき Disturbed Scratch) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I-III

Fury Swipes 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. Although only the first hit can critical hit, each successive hit after will deal the same amount of damage.

Fury Swipes will end immediately if it breaks a Substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.

Taking the average number of hits into account, Fury Swipes could be considered to have an effective power of 54.

Generation IV

Same as Generation I, except it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.

Generation V

Unlike previous generations, if Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activate before the last hit is dealt, the following hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. Each hit will also cause Broken Armor to activate.
