In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Skull Bash is a move with 10 base power, 100% accuracy, and 15 PP. This attack hits enemy in the front; this move's damage is doubled at the end of damage calculation. Unlike in main series, the Defense boost exists only in the charging phase. Being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked.
