Effect
Generation I-III
Bonemerang inflicts damage, striking twice per use. Although only the first hit can technically cause a critical hit, each hit per use will do the same amount of damage.
Bonemerang will end immediately if it breaks a Substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.
Generation IV
Same as before, except it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.
