Bone Rush hits 2-5 times per turn used. The probability of each interval is shown to the right, with the total power after each hit.

Each hit of Bone Rush is treated like a separate attack:

The move Counter only counters the final hit, but Bide counters the complete damage.

The Skill Link ability will cause Bone Rush to always hit the maximum number of times.

Changes

In Generations 2-4, if the Focus Sash/Band items activate before the final hit, subsequent hits do not cause the holder to faint.

In Generations 2-3, Bone Rush ends immediately if any hit breaks a Substitute.

In Generations 2-4, Bone Rush has 80% accuracy.
