Guillotine (Japanese: ハサミギロチン Scissors Guillotine) is a Normal-type one-hit knockout move introduced in Generation I.

Contents

Effect

Generation I

Guillotine inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. Guillotine will break a Substitute on contact, and can be countered for infinite damage on the turn it breaks a Substitute.

Guillotine will not affect an opponent whose current Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

Generation II and on

Unlike in Generation I, Guillotine can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level.
