Frustration (Japanese: やつあたり Angry Outburst) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TM21 from Generation II to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

Effect

Frustration inflicts damage and has no secondary effect. The base power of Frustration is dependent on the user's friendship. The lower the user's friendship is, the greater the base power of Frustration.

The base power can be calculated using the following formula:

 

If the user's friendship is 128 or more, Return is stronger than Frustration.

Generation II

The power of Frustration varies between 0 (at the maximum friendship value of 255) and 102 (at the minimum friendship value of 0).

Generation III to VII

The base power of Frustration is now set to 1 if the formula outputs 0.

Generation VIII onwards

Frustration cannot be selected in a battle.

  This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: new damage formula
You can discuss this on the talk page.

In the Rescue Team and Explorers series, Frustration deals damage depending on the user's IQ. At 0 IQ, it deals 45 damage. The damage is decreased by 5 after reaching 50 and 100 IQ, and every 100 IQ after that, until it deals 5 damage at 700 IQ. Although not possible under normal gameplay, IQ of 1000 or higher makes Frustration deal only 1 damage, while a negative value makes it behave like a one-hit knockout move.

In the Adventure Squad series, the damage instead starts at 35 at 0-199 IQ, and decreases by 5 every 100 IQ until it reaches 5 damage at 700 IQ.

In Gates to Infinity onwards, with the removal of the IQ system, damage now decreases the more dungeons the user has been taken into.
