Arm Thrust 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 strike of Arm Thrust 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 Arm Thrust to always hit the maximum number of times.
In Generations 3-4, if a Focus Sash or Focus Band activates before the final hit, subsequent hits do not cause the holder to faint.
In Generation 3, Arm Thrust ends immediately if any hit breaks a Substitute.
When a Pokémon is holding Fightinium Z and uses its Z-Power, Arm Thrust turns into All-Out Pummeling and has base power 100.
