Scale Shot inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a ~33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a ~33.3% chance that it will hit 3 times, a ~16.7% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a ~16.7% chance that it will hit 5 times. This means that it will hit about ~3.167 times on average provided that it does not miss, giving it an average power of ~79.2. If the user does not miss, the user's {{stat|Speed}} is raised by one stage, while its {{stat|Defense}} is lowered by one stage. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a [[critical hit]].
