Arm Thrust (move)

Arm Thrust is a Fighting-type move introduced in Generation III that deals very little damage. It refers to a sumo technique and as such is Makuhita's signature attack.

Effect

Generation III

Arm Thrust does damage, hitting 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. Each attack made has an equal chance to land a critical hit.

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

Generation IV

Same as Generation III, except it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.
