Multi-strike move: Difference between revisions

The game now states how many times a multi-strike move hit if it knocked out an enemy. If a Pokémon's [[Focus Band]] activates against a hit of a multi-strike move, all subsequent hits will not knock it out. The [[King's Rock]] will take each hit into consideration when determining whether or not the opponent will flinch. Each individual hit of a multi-strike move has its own chance of being a critical hit, and if the first hit is a critical hit, it no longer makes subsequent hits deal that much damage.

A [[Focus Sash]] activated by a multi-strike move will protect the holder from the rest of the attack. Pokémon with the {{a|Skill Link}} Ability are guaranteed that any 2-5 hit multi-strike move they use will hit the full five times. The [[Razor Fang]] will take each hit into consideration when determining whether or not the opponent will flinch.

The Focus Sash and Focus Band no longer protect the holder against multiple hits of a multi-strike move (unless the Focus Band activates multiple times). The newly upgraded {{a|Sturdy}} only activates against one single hit of a multi-strike move (provided said hit would have knocked out the target and that said target was at full HP to begin with). The Abilities {{a|Weak Armor}} and {{a|Justified}} are activated by each hit of a multi-strike move, while {{a|Sap Sipper}} is activated only once. The item [[Rocky Helmet]] is activated by each hit. The newly upgraded Ability {{a|Stench}} will take each hit into consideration when determining whether or not the opponent will {{status|flinch}}, and does not stack with the Razor Fang or King's Rock. The number of hits is now shown after the target faints.
