Revenge (Japanese: リベンジ Revenge) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Generation III

Revenge deals damage. If the user takes damage in the same turn, Revenge's power is doubled to 120. Revenge is affected by the user's and target's speed stat and therefore the user must be slower than the target in order to take damage in the same turn or must be hit by an increased priority attack.

Generation IV

Revenge deals damage and is a decreased priority move, causing the user to attack after other Pokémon that are using ordinary priority moves. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as Generation III.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

Similar to bide, the user will store energy for a few turns and then release the energy to inflict damage, the amount of damage equals to the amount the user received during the "charging". The move will fail if the opposing Pokémon doesn't attack, if the user is under certain statuses like sleep or paralyze, or if the user faints.
