Parental Bond causes most damaging moves used by the Pokémon to become [[multi-strike move|two-strike moves]], with the second strike being half as strong as the first. It does not affect [[multi-strike move]]s. | Parental Bond causes most damaging moves used by the Pokémon to become [[multi-strike move|two-strike moves]], with the second strike being half as strong as the first.

If {{m|Present}} heals the target it will only strike once, but if it damages the target it will strike twice (the second strike will always damage the target). {{cat|Moves that deal direct damage|Fixed-damage moves}} (such as {{m|Seismic Toss}} and {{m|Dragon Rage}}) deal the full amount of damage for both strikes. The damage dealt by {{m|Psywave}} is generated separately for each strike, and the second strike's damage is not halved. Each strike of {{m|Super Fang}} halves the target's HP (effectively quartering it if HP is not changed between strikes). {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}}, {{m|Metal Burst}} and {{m|Bide}} deal the full amount of damage for both strikes. The first strike of {{m|Assurance}} counts as previously taking damage for the second strike, giving it increased power. The power of {{m|Fury Cutter}} and {{m|Echoed Voice}} is boosted only once per attack, so the second strike does not increase its move power. {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and {{m|Water Pledge}} strike twice, even when used as a combination move. {{m|Natural Gift}} and {{m|Spit Up}} strike twice. {{cat|Moves that require recharging}} after use strike twice, but the user only needs to recharge for one turn. | If {{m|Present}} heals the target it will only strike once, but if it damages the target it will strike twice (the second strike will always damage the target). {{cat|Moves that deal direct damage|Fixed-damage moves}} (such as {{m|Seismic Toss}} and {{m|Dragon Rage}}) deal the full amount of damage for both strikes.
