Dynamic Punch deals damage and confuses the target, if it hits. Confused Pokémon have a 33% chance of hurting themselves each turn, for 1-4 attacking turns (50% chance in Generations 1-6). The damage received is as if the Pokémon attacks itself with a typeless 40 base power Physical attack.

Pokémon with the ability Own Tempo or those behind a Substitute cannot be confused.

When a Pokémon is holding Fightinium Z and uses its Z-Power, Dynamic Punch turns into All-Out Pummeling and has base power 180.
