===Generation II and on===
===Generation II===
Unlike in Generation I, Horn Drill can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Horn Drill depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula: Accuracy = ((level of user-level of target) + 30)%. Horn Drill ignores all changes to accuracy and evasion stats.

Horn Drill can be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage if it misses in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. However, this does not apply to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and later games.

===Mystery Dungeon===
===Generation III===
Horn Drill will cause a Pokémon to instantly faint through "calamitous damage" (changed to "It's a one-hit KO!" in Gates to Infinity), regardless of level, but is prone to missing.
Horn Drill can no longer be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage if it misses.

Horn Drill (Japanese: つのドリル Horn Drill) is a Normal-type one-hit knockout move introduced in Generation I. It was TM07 in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Horn Drill has 30% accuracy and inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. Horn Drill will break a substitute if it hits, and can be countered for infinite damage when it does so.

Horn Drill will not affect a target whose current Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

Generation II

Unlike in Generation I, Horn Drill can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Horn Drill depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula: Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target) + 30)%. Horn Drill ignores all changes to accuracy and evasion stats.

Horn Drill cannot be countered for infinite damage if it misses in Pokémon Stadium 2.

Generation III

Horn Drill can no longer be countered for infinite damage if it misses.
