Selfdestruct (Japanese: じばく Suicide Bombing) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM36 in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Resembling a weaker version of Explosion, Selfdestruct inflicts damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is listed as 130, the target's Defense will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 260. The game will bump 0 up to 1 to avoid infinite damage, so Selfdestruct would have an effective power of 130 if it could be used against a target with a Defense value of 1 (although such circumstances would almost never happen in normal play).

If Selfdestruct breaks a target's substitute, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Selfdestruct had a substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.

If the user of Selfdestruct attacks first and faints itself, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Selfdestruct breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, ie. 260.

Generation II

The move's power is increased to 200 instead. The target's Defense is still halved, giving it an effective power of 400.

If Selfdestruct is used against a substitute, a Ghost type, or a Pokémon that has used Protect or Detect, it will still faint.

Unlike the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Selfdestruct's base power before halving Defense.

Generations III and IV

Selfdestruct cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability Damp is on the field.

Generation V

Selfdestruct no longer halves the target's Defense. The user faints before dealing damage, unlike previous generations.

Mystery Dungeon

Selfdestruct does not cause the user to faint, but instead cuts its HP in half, and affects all Pokémon, items, and walls within one tile of the user, reducing HP by half on teammates, by 50 on hostile Pokémon, and destroying all walls, items, and special tiles. Selfdestruct cannot be used in rain or on any floor with a Pokémon with the Ability Damp. Additionally, Fire-type Pokémon take only 50% of usual damage.
