Giga Impact (Japanese: ギガインパクト Giga Impact) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV. It is identical to Hyper Beam, except that it is a Physical move rather than a Special one.

Almost every Pokémon that can learn Hyper Beam through TM15 can learn Giga Impact through TM68, and vice versa.

Effect

Giga Impact deals a large amount of damage and then forces the user to recharge during the next turn. Unless this attack misses, the user will always have to recharge.

Trivia

  • Giga Impact was likely introduced because Hyper Beam was changed, due to its nature as a beam of pure energy, from a physical move to a special move.
  • Aerodactyl and Tyranitar are the only Pokémon that learn both Hyper Beam and Giga Impact by leveling up.
  • Despite being among the lightest Pokémon (only surpassed by Gastly and Haunter), all three of the lake guardians can learn this move.
  • Axew, Fraxure, Lillipup, and Herdier are the only Pokémon that are not fully evolved that can learn Giga Impact by leveling up.
  • Normally, only fully-evolved Pokémon can learn this move. However, some Pokémon that are not fully evolved but were in a previous generation (such as Porygon, Porygon2, Seadra, or Lickitung) may also learn this move, despite the fact it was introduced during Generation IV.
    • Also, some Pokémon that are currently fully evolved cannot learn either variation.
  • No Generation III Pokémon can learn Giga Impact via level up.
