Spike Cannon (Japanese: とげキャノン Spike Cannon) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 multi-hit move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generations I-III

Spike Cannon 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. Although only the first hit can be a critical hit, each hit per use will deal the same amount of damage.

Spike Cannon will end immediately if it breaks a Substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.

Generation IV and on

The effects are the same as the previous generations, except it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.

Trivia

  • Despite being a Normal-type move, no Normal-type Pokémon (besides Smeargle) can legally learn this move, meaning that Smeargle is the only Pokémon to get a STAB from it.
  • All of the Pokémon capable of learning this move naturally are part Template:Type2 and in the Water 3 Egg group.
