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.

Generation IX

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Heavy Slam behaves similarly to Heat Crash, Fly and Bounce, causing the user to leap high up into the air (briefly avoiding moves that pass through their position), before crashing back down on the target.

If used against the Hyperrogue Ange Floette flowers, Heavy Slam will always have a base power of 120.
