Arm Thrust (Japanese: つっぱり Thrust) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation III. Prior to Generation V, it was one of Makuhita and Hariyama's signature moves.
Effect
Generation III
Arm Thrust inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. On average, it will hit 3 times, giving it an average power of 45. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a critical hit.
Arm Thrust may continue attacking after a substitute is broken. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.
If the target has an Ability which activates upon contact, each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.
Generation IV
Pokémon with the Ability Skill Link will always hit five times when using Arm Thrust if it does not miss. However, no Pokémon could naturally possess both Skill Link and Arm Thrust until Generation VI.
Generation V
There is now a 33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a 16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 16.7% chance it will hit 5 times. On average, it will hit 3.168 times, giving it an average power of 47.52.
Unlike previous generations, if Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activate before the last strike is dealt, the following one will cause the defending Pokémon to faint; however, Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one. Each strike will cause Weak Armor to activate.
If the target is holding a Rocky Helmet, the user is damaged for each strike.
