Barrage (Japanese: たまなげ Ball Throw) is a damage-dealing Normal-type multi-hit move introduced in Generation I. It is the signature move of Exeggcute and Exeggutor.

Contents

Effect

Generation I-III

Barrage 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. Though technically only the first hit can critical hit, each hit per use will do the same amount of damage.

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

Taking the average number of hits into account, Barrage could be considered to have an effective power of 45.

Generation IV

The effects of Barrage are similar to the previous generations; however, it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.

Generation V

Unlike previous generations, if Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activate before the last hit is dealt, the following hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. Each hit will also cause Weak Armor to activate.
