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. On average, it will hit 3 times, 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
Each strike now does damage independently, consequently enabling any of them to be critical.
Generations III and IV
Spike Cannon may continue attacking after breaking a substitute.
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. On average, it will hit 3.168 times, giving it an average power of 63.36.
If Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activate before the last strike is dealt, the following one will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.
Each strike will activate Weak Armor.
