On Smogon's Movedex:

Heavy Slam (Japanese: ヘビーボンバー Heavy Bomber) is a damage-dealing Steel-type move introduced in Generation V. It was TR79 in Pokémon Sword and Shield, and is TM121 in Generation IX.

Effect

Generations V and VI

Heavy Slam deals damage. Its power depends on the weight of both the user and the target; the lighter the target is in comparison to the user, the greater the power:

Target's relative weight	Power
More than 50%	40
33.35% - 50%	60
25.01% - 33.34%	80
20.01% - 25%	100
20% or less	120

Generation VII onwards

If the target has used Minimize, Heavy Slam now deals double its regular damage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

Heavy Slam will fail against a Dynamax target.

Description
