Wake-Up Slap (Japanese: めざましビンタ Awakening Slap) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Wake-Up Slap deals damage. If the target is sleeping, this move has double the power and causes the target to wake up.

It has also double the power when used on a target with the Comatose Ability.

If the target has a substitute, Wake-Up Slap only does normal damage (the power is not doubled and it does not cause the target to wake up).

Generations IV and V

The base power of Wake-Up Slap is 60.

Generations VI and VII

The base power of Wake-Up Slap increased to 70.

Wake-Up Slap can be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if a sleep-inducing status move (except Psycho Shift and Rest) was used in the prior turn.

Generation VIII onwards

Wake-Up Slap cannot be selected in a battle.
