Magnitude (Japanese: マグニチュード Magnitude) is a damage-dealing Ground-type move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Generations II to IV

Magnitude's power varies based on a randomly selected "magnitude" value ranging from 4 to 10, with 4 having the least power and 10 having the greatest.

Magnitude can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig, and if it does, it will have its power doubled for that Pokémon.

Power varies as follows:

Magnitude Power Probability
4 10 5%
5 30 10%
6 50 20%
7 70 30%
8 90 20%
9 110 10%
10 150 5%

Its average power is 71.

Generation V

If Magnitude hits a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig, now technically the damage will be doubled for that Pokémon, resulting in virtually the same effect.

Generation VI

If Grassy Terrain is in effect, Magnitude deals only half the usual damage.

Trivia

  • Despite being introduced in Generation II, no Pokémon introduced in Generation II could learn Magnitude until Generation IV.
  • At 150 base power, Magnitude 10 has the highest base power of all Ground-type moves.
  • At base power 10, Magnitude 4 has the lowest base power of all Ground-type moves and is tied up with Constrict as being the least damaging move, if STAB is not included.
  • Due to the 2004 Chuetsu earthquake, this move, along with Fissure and Earthquake, has not been used in the anime since AG101 (which itself has never been aired).
