Rough Skin deals damage to an opponent equal to 1/16 of the attacking Pokémon's maximum {{stat|HP}} when hit with a move that makes [[contact]], after all turn-based damage is dealt.
When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a move that makes [[contact]], the attacking Pokémon loses 1/16 of its own maximum {{stat|HP}}.  


The damage will repeat for [[multi-hit move]]s such as {{m|Fury Swipes}} and {{m|Double Kick}}.
If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a [[multi-strike move]] that makes contact, each hit will activate this Ability.
