Spike Cannon (move): Difference between revisions

gameimage=Spike Cannon.png |

===[[Generation I]]===

Spike Cannon inflicts damage, hitting 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. This gives the attack an average power of 60. Although only the first hit can be a [[critical hit]], each successive hit will deal the same amount of damage.

Spike Cannon will end immediately if it breaks a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.

===[[Generation II]] and {{gen|III}}===

Same as Generation I, but all hits will do damage independently, consequently enabling any of them to be critical.

===[[Generation IV]]===

Same as previous generations, except it will continue attacking after a substitute is broken.

Due to the introduction of the Ability {{a|Skill Link}}, a Pokémon with said Ability will always hit five times when using Spike Cannon, if it does not miss.

===[[Generation V]]===

Unlike previous generations, if [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], or {{a|Sturdy}} activate before the last hit is dealt, the following hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint; however, [[Focus Band]] can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one. Each hit will cause {{a|Weak Armor}} to activate.

== Trivia ==

*Despite being a Normal-type move, no Normal-type Pokémon (besides {{p|Smeargle}}) can legally learn this move, meaning that Smeargle is the only Pokémon to get a [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from it.

*All of the Pokémon capable of learning this move naturally are part {{type|Water}} and in the {{egg|Water 3}} [[Egg Group]].
