Rock Blast (Japanese: ロックブラスト Rock Blast) is a damage-dealing Rock-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation III.
Effect
Generation III
Rock Blast inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. This means that it will hit 3 times on average provided that it does not miss, giving it an average power of 75. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a critical hit.
Rock Blast may continue attacking after breaking a substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.
Generation IV
Pokémon with the Ability Skill Link will always hit five times when using Rock Blast unless it misses.
Generation V
Rock Blast's accuracy increased from 80 to 90%. There is now a 33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a 16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 16.7% chance it will hit 5 times. This means that it will hit about 3.168 times on average provided that it does not miss, giving it an average power of 79.2.
If a Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.
If the target has Weak Armor, each strike will activate it.
