Headbutt (Japanese: ずつき Headbutt) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Headbutt does damage and has a 29.7% chance of causing the target to flinch.

Headbutt can't make a target with a Substitute flinch.

Generation II

In the second generation of games, Headbutt can be used in the field to shake small trees, sometimes causing a wild Pokémon to drop out. Depending on the time of day, the Pokémon which falls out may be asleep.

Also, the chance of causing flinching was changed to 30%.

Pokémon that can be found with this method are:
