Contents

Effect

Generation IV

Wring Out deals damage. Its power varies between 1 and 121, and is greater the more HP the target has:

Power = 1 + 120 × (Target's Current HP / Target's Maximum HP)

Generations V to VII

Wring Out's power is now calculated as

Power = 120 × (Target's Current HP / Target's Maximum HP)

However, its power cannot be less than 1. Consequently, its power now varies between 1 and 120.

Generation VIII

Wring Out cannot be selected in a battle.
