Bullet Seed (Japanese: タネマシンガン Seed Machine Gun) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 swipe move introduced in Generation III.
Effect
Generation III
Bullet Seed does 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. Each attack made has an equal chance to land a critical hit.
Bullet Seed will end immediately if it breaks a Substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.
Generation IV
Its effect is the same as Generation III, except that it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.
Generation V
Its effect is still the same, however its Base Power increases from 10 to 25. 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 cause Weak Armor to activate.
