Submission (move): Difference between revisions

Submission (Japanese: じごくぐるま Hell Wheel) is a mostly accurate damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Submission does damage, and the user receives recoil damage equal to 25% of the damage done to the opponent.

If the user of Submission attacks first and faints itself due to recoil damage, the opponent will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round. However, the user will still be subject to recurrent damage.

Self-inflicted recoil damage from Submission from the previous turn can be countered if the opponent does not make a move on the following turn. If Submission breaks a Substitute, the user will take no recoil damage.

In Stadium, no recoil damage is taken if Submission knocks out an opponent.
