Double-Edge (Japanese: すてみタックル Life-Risking Tackle) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Double-Edge inflicts damage and the user receives recoil damage equal to 25% of the damage done to the target. Double-Edge has a Base Power of 100 in this generation.

If the user of Double-Edge attacks first and makes itself faint due to recoil damage, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round. However, the user will still be subject to recurrent damage.

Self-inflicted recoil damage from Double-Edge from the previous turn can be countered if the target does not make a move on the following turn. If Double-Edge breaks a Substitute, the user will take no recoil damage.

In Stadium, no recoil damage is taken if Double-Edge knocks out a target.

The effects of Double-Edge are the same, however, the Base Power has increases to 120.
