Skill Link causes [[multi-strike move]]s to always strike their maximum number of times. See {{cat|multi-strike moves}} for a full list of multi-strike moves. This Ability does not affect moves with a fixed number of strikes like {{m|Double Kick}}.
====Generation IV====
Skill Link enables multi-strike moves that hit [[Multi-strike move#2-5 strikes per turn|2-5 times per use]] to always strike five times.


====Moves affected by Skill Link====
====Generation V====
{|
If the Ability is lost in the middle of move (such as via {{a|Mummy}}), the user will still hit the maximum number of times on the turn in progress.

Skill Link now affects {{m|Triple Kick}}. When used by Pokémon with this Ability, there will be one accuracy check for all strikes instead of individual checks for each strike.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* {{p|Cinccino}} is the Pokémon with the most multi-strike moves, learning four.
* If a Pokémon with this Ability holds a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} and uses a move that can hit five times, the target has a 40.951% chance of {{DL|Status condition|flinch}}ing, due to each hit having its own chance to flinch the target.
* Via [[STAB]], {{p|Cloyster}} and {{p|Minccino}}/{{p|Cinccino}} can achieve a power of 187.5 with {{m|Icicle Spear}} and {{m|Tail Slap}} respectively.
