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

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