Bounce (Japanese: とびはねる Bounce) is a damage-dealing Flying-type move introduced in Generation III.

Contents

Effect

The user bounces up high on the first turn, avoiding most moves. Gust, Twister, Thunder, and Sky Uppercut have normal accuracy against a mid-air Pokémon, with all but Sky Uppercut also gaining doubled power. The user may also be hit in mid-air if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader or if it is attacked by a Pokémon with No Guard. On the second turn, the user slams down onto the target, inflicting damage with a 30% chance of paralyzing it.
