Effects
Double Hit deals damage and will strike twice (with 35 base power each time).
Each strike of Double Hit is treated like a separate attack:
- Each strike can get a critical hit independently.
- Abilities that activate on contact (Static, Weak Armor, Iron Barbs etc.) activate for each strike.
- 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.
Evolution
Changes
- In Generation 4, if a Focus Sash or Focus Band activates before the final hit, subsequent hits do not cause the holder to faint.
