Bounce on Legendary Pokémon MoveDex Bounce on Eevee's Movedex

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

Effect

Generation III to IV

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.

Generation V

Bounce can hit non-adjacent opponents in triple battles.

Trivia

• In Generation III, the only four Pokémon to learn Bounce were not Flying-type and therefore would not normally receive STAB from it.
• Bounce is the only Flying-type move that Gyarados can learn, despite being a Flying-type Pokémon.
