Giga Impact is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation IV that deals a large amount of damage and forces the user recharge next turn. It is identical to Hyper Beam, except that it is a Physical attack rather than a Special one. It was introduced because in Generation IV Hyper Beam was put in the Special category. This move uses the Attack stat, like the old Hyper Beam. Almost every Pokémon that can learn Hyper Beam through TM15 can learn Giga Impact through TM68, and vice versa.
Strangely, despite being among the lightest Pokémon (only surpassed by Gastly and Haunter), all members of the lake trio can learn this move.
