What are all recoil moves?

Question

Also, I heard that hi jump kick is one. Why?

Answer 1

This answer is up-to-date as of The Indigo Disk.

Recoil damage, crash damage, moves that cause the user to faint, moves that cost HP to use, and Mind Blown/Steel Beam are different categories of moves. That said, they're similar enough that this is typically irrelevant.

Moves with recoil
Brave Bird
Chloroblast
Double-Edge
Flare Blitz
Head Charge
Head Smash
Light of Ruin
Self-Destruct (Legends: Arceus)
Shadow End
Shadow Rush (Colosseum)

Volt Tackle

If you're going to include those other categories, you might as well include these: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Moves_that_cost_HP_to_use

Done, thanks!

Answer 2

Hi jump kick is recoil because, as the name implies, you jump very high in the air to strike your opponent, using them to break your fall as well. If you miss, then you'll just fall and crash, taking damage.

Take Down: 1/4 of damage done.

Double edge: 1/3 of damage done.

submission:1/4 of damage dealt.

Hi Jump Kick and Jump Kick: Half of max HP rounded down, but only when you miss.

Struggle: 1/4 of maximum HP.

Volt Tackle:1/3 of max HP.

Flare Blitz:1/3 of damage dealt

Brave Bird:1/3 of damage dealt.

Wood Hammer:1/3 of damage dealt.

Head Smash:1/2 of damage dealt.

Wild Charge:1/4 of damage dealt.

Head Charge:1/4 of damage done

Shadow Rush: 1/16 of user's maximum HP. (only in Colosseum games.)

Shadow End: 1/2 the Pokemon's current HP. (Colosseum)

Light of Ruin: 1/2 damage dealt. (Eternal Floette signature, was never released)

Steel Beam: 1/2 of user's maximum HP.

Mind Blown: 1/2 of user's maximum HP.

There is also the move shadow end if I am right

I have updated the answer to 2020 standard. Thank you!

You also forgot mind blown

---

Hmm, you're right. I forgot about that move. I had Ultra Moon, so I forgot Blacephalon ever existed. Bulbapedia doesn't have Mind Blown listed in the list of recoil moves. :p

---

It is not listed probably due to it not counting as a Recoil move in the game's check of stopping recoil damage via Rock Head. :P

And yet Steel Beam is listed?
