Icicle Spear 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 Icicle Spear 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 Icicle Spear to always hit the maximum number of times.
In Generations 3-4, if the Focus Sash/Band items activate before the final hit, subsequent hits do not cause the holder to faint.
In Generation 3, Icicle Spear ends immediately if any hit breaks a Substitute.
In Generations 3-4, Icicle Spear has a base power of 10.
