Metal Burst (move): Difference between revisions

Metal Burst returns 1.5 times the damage dealt by the foe's last attack. Unlike {{m|Counter}} or {{m|Mirror Coat}}, Metal Burst does not require specifically [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] damage sources and Metal Burst does not have decreased [[priority]]; if the user acts before it is hit by an opponent's damaging move, Metal Burst will fail. The move also fails if the user's {{m|substitute}} is hit instead. In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Metal Burst will hit the last opponent that dealt damage to the user, even if that opponent is not adjacent to the user; Metal Burst cannot affect allied Pokémon.

Metal Burst can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Taunt}} or {{m|Torment}} was used in the prior turn.
