'''Skull Bash''' (Japanese: '''ロケットずつき''' ''Rocket Headbutt'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation II]], it was the [[signature move]] of the {{p|Squirtle}} evolutionary line. It was [[TM40]] in Generation I.

In {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English|Stadium}}, Mirror Move will copy Skull Bash on either of the turns it takes to execute.

On the turn it is selected, Skull Bash will raise the user's {{stat|Defense}} by one level.
