Info on the move Pin Missile

Pin Missile

Pin Missile 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 Pin Missile 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 Pin Missile to always hit the maximum number of times.

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 1-3, Pin Missile ends immediately if any hit breaks a Substitute.

In Generation 1, each hit will always deal the same damage - if the first critical hits, so will the rest.

When a Pokémon is holding Buginium Z and uses its Z-Power, Pin Missile turns into Savage Spin-Out and has base power 140.
