Eruption (move)

Eruption (Japanese: ふんか Eruption) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III. It is a variation of Water Spout and can be considered the inverse of Reversal and Flail.

Effect

Eruption does damage, and hits both opponents in double battles. This move's power reduces as the user's HP reduces. The power is calculated by the formula:

150 x user's current's HP x user's maximum HP = Eruption's power.

Hence, the maximum power, at 100% HP, will be 150.
