On Smogon's Movedex:

Mega Punch (Japanese: メガトンパンチ Megaton Punch) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM01 in Generation I and TM00 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

It can be thought of as a counterpart to Mega Kick, being the same type and having a similar name.

Effect

Generation I to VIII

Mega Punch deals damage and has no secondary effect.

Mega Punch can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 4 bonus appeal points if Focus Energy or Mind Reader was used in the previous turn.

Generation IX

Mega Punch is programmed into Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but cannot be selected in a battle as no available Pokémon can learn it. However, it can be called by Metronome.
