Skull Bash (Japanese: ロケットずつき Rocket Headbutt) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. In Generation II, it was the signature move of the Squirtle evolutionary line. It was TM40 in Generation I.
Effect
Generation I
Skull Bash does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than say that the user lowered its head. On the following turn, Skull Bash will do damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Skull Bash is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.
If Skull Bash is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the opponent uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user lowers its head, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Skull Bash (or fail if it can't).
Sleep, freeze, partial trapping, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Skull Bash.
In Stadium, Mirror Move will copy Skull Bash on either of the turns it takes to execute.
Generations II and III
On the turn it is selected, Skull Bash will raise the user's Defense by one level.
Generations IV and V
If a Power Herb is held by the user, Skull Bash can be executed in one turn.
Generation VI
Skull Bash's power is changed from 100 to 130 and its PP changed from 15 to 10.

- Pikachu uses Skull Bash as its side Special attack in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. Skull Bash can be charged up to inflict more damage and knockback.
- Pichu uses Skull Bash as its side Special attack in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is similar to Pikachu's, but when Pichu uses it, it damages itself a little. Pichu cannot legitimately learn Skull Bash in the main games, however.
