* Although Vital Throw was introduced in Generation II, no Generation II Pokémon can legally learn it, with the exception of {{p|Smeargle}} (via {{m|Sketch}}).
[[File:Vital Throw wrong display.png|thumb|Description in Generation III with erroneous accuracy data]]
* Although being a never-missing move, it had 100% accuracy in Generation III.
* In [[Generation III]], the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it ignores accuracy and evasion checks.
* No Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IV]] can learn this move by any means.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Vital Throw appears similar to a pro-wrestling move called a {{wp|Powerslam#Side slam|side slam}}.
* {{p|Pinsir}} is the only non-Fighting-type Pokémon that learns Vital Throw.

Vital Throw (Japanese: あてみなげ Strike Throw) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation III, it was the signature move of Machop's evolutionary line.

Effect

Vital Throw deals damage and is a decreased priority move, causing the user to attack after other Pokémon that are using ordinary priority moves. However, it will strike before Pokémon using other decreased priority moves such as Focus Punch and Avalanche. Vital Throw bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

Vital Throw can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 3 bonus appeal points if Fake Out was used in the previous turn. It can also part of a Contest Spectacular combination with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves Entrainment, Hold Hands or Play Nice was used in the prior turn.

Generation IX

Vital Throw cannot be selected in a battle.

Trivia

Description in Generation III with erroneous accuracy data
  • In Generation III, the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it ignores accuracy and evasion checks.
  • In the anime, Vital Throw appears similar to a pro-wrestling move called a side slam.
