The user gains the Counter status and returns any damage dealt to it from physical moves (including the regular A button attack) equal to the damage received.<!--partially returned in RB?--> Oddly in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]], though moves are assigned as Physical or Special in game, Counter will return damage from damaging moves from types previously assigned as physical prior to the [[Damage category#Physical/Special split|Physical/Special split]]. The Counter status lasts 7-12{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}}, or 6{{sup/md|GTI}}{{sup/md|SMD}} turns.
