A very appealing move, but after using this move, the user is more easily startled.

Double-Edge (Japanese: すてみタックル Life-Risking Tackle) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It is TM10 in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Double-Edge inflicts damage, and the user receives recoil damage equal to ¼ of the damage done to the target.

If the user of Double-Edge attacks first and makes itself faint due to recoil damage, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

Self-inflicted recoil damage from Double-Edge from the previous turn can be countered if the target does not make a move on the following turn. If Double-Edge breaks a substitute, the user will take no recoil damage.

Double-Edge has a base power of 100 in this generation.

In Pokémon Stadium, no recoil damage is taken if Double-Edge knocks out a target.

Generation II

Double-Edge's base power is increased to 120. The user will take recoil damage even if a substitute breaks.

Generation III onwards

Recoil is increased to ⅓ of damage done, rather than ¼.

Double-Edge can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 6 bonus appeal points if Focus Energy or Harden was used in the previous turn.

Generation VIII

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Double-Edge's power was reduced from 120 to 100 and its PP was reduced from 15 to 5.
