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}}.
Skill Link enables [[Multi-strike move|multi-strike moves]] that hit [[Multi-strike move#2-5 strikes per turn|2-5 times per use]] to always strike five times.

====Generation V====
If the Ability is lost in the middle of move (such as via {{a|Mummy}}), the user will still hit maximum number of times. Additionally, Ability now affects {{m|Triple Kick}} - which used by Pokémon with this Ability will have one accuracy check for all hits, rather than separate one for each hit.
Even 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.
