Effect

Crush Grip deals damage. Its power is greater the more HP the target has.

Generation IV

Its power varies between 1 and 121. It is calculated as:

$Power=1+120\times \frac{CurrentH{P}_{target}}{MaxH{P}_{target}}$

Generation V to VII

Its power now varies between 1 and 120. It is calculated as:

$Power=120\times \frac{CurrentH{P}_{target}}{MaxH{P}_{target}}$

However, its power cannot be less than 1.

Generation VIII

In Versions 1.0 to 1.2.1 of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Crush Grip could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.3.0, it is usable and functions the same as it did in the previous generation.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Crush Grip deals damage. Its power is increased the higher the enemy's current HP. In the Explorers and Adventure Squad series, the damage dealt is multiplied by ½ if the enemy's HP is at 51-75%, 51/256 (~0.2×) when at 26-50% and 25/256 (~0.1×) when at 25% or lower.

In Super Mystery Dungeon, the multiplier ranges from 1.0x to 0.0x based on the target's current HP percentage, dealing a minimum of 1 damage.
