On Smogon's Movedex:

Spike Cannon (Japanese: とげキャノン Spike Cannon) is a damage-dealing Normal-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

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. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit 3 times on average, giving it an average power of 60. Although only the first strike can be a critical hit, each successive one 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 strike of this move.

Generation II

All strikes now do damage independently, consequently enabling any of them to be critical.

Generation III

Spike Cannon may now continue attacking after breaking a substitute.

Generation IV

Pokémon with the Ability Skill Link will always hit five times when using Spike Cannon unless it misses.

Generation V

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. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit ~3.167 times on average, giving it an average power of ~63.33.

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.

-* Despite being a Normal-type move, no Normal-type Pokémon (besides {{p|Smeargle}}) can legally learn this move, meaning that Smeargle is the only Pokémon to get a [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from it.
+* In [[Generation I]], {{p|Omanyte}} is able to learn Spike Cannon despite lacking any visible spikes.
-* All of the Pokémon capable of learning this move naturally are part {{type|Water}} and in the {{egg|Water 3}} [[Egg Group]].
-* In [[Generation I]], {{p|Omanyte}} is able to learn Spike Cannon, despite lacking any visible horns to use the move.
-* Due to Omanyte no longer being capable of learning Spike Cannon from [[Generation II]] onwards, while a new Pokémon which could learn it, {{p|Corsola}}, was revealed at the same time, the number of the Pokémon capable of learning Spike Cannon in the ongoing Generation (excluding Smeargle) has always been four.
