Belly Drum (Japanese: はらだいこ Belly Drum) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.

Contents

Effect

Belly Drum deducts one half of the user's maximum HP from its current HP and, in return, it maximizes the user's Attack stat by raising it twelve stages (up to +6). Belly Drum fails if the user's current HP is less than half its maximum.
