Bone Rush hits 2-5 times per turn used. The probability of each interval is shown in the table, with the total power after each hit.
Each strike of Bone Rush is treated like a separate attack:
- Each strike can get a critical hit independently.
- If the Sturdy ability, Focus Sash, or Focus Band activates before the final hit, the subsequent hit will still deal damage and therefore cause the opponent to faint.
- If the first hit breaks a Substitute, the second hit will deal damage to the target Pokémon.
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, Bone Rush has 80% accuracy.
- In Generations 2-4, if a Focus Sash or Focus Band activates 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.

When a Pokémon is holding Groundium Z and uses its Z-Power, Bone Rush turns into Tectonic Rage and has base power 140.
