Low Kick (Japanese: けたぐり Kick Down) is a Fighting-type move introduced in Generation I that deals a varying amount of damage.


Effect

Generation I

Low Kick has a power of 50 and has a 29.7% chance of causing the opponent to flinch.

Generation III onwards

Low Kick doesn't have a standard Power; rather, it inflicts greater damage on a heavier target. Low Kick's power is calculated as follows:

Target's Weight Power
0.1 - 22 lb. 20
22.1 - 55 lb. 40
55.1 - 110 lb. 60
110.1 - 220 lb. 80
220.1 - 440 lb. 100
440.1 lb. or more 120
