Belly Drum (Japanese: はらだいこ Belly Drum) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.
Effect
Belly Drum deducts half of the user's maximum HP (rounded down) from its current HP and, in return, it maximizes the user's Attack stat by raising it to +6 stages, even if the user's temporary Attack bonus stages were below 0 prior to using Belly Drum.
Belly Drum fails if the user's current HP is less than half its maximum, or if the user's Attack is already at +6 (even if the user has Contrary).
If the user has Contrary, its Attack will be lowered to -6 stages (although the message will still say that the user maximized its Attack); even if the user's Attack is already at -6 stages, Belly Drum will deduct HP.
In Generation II only, if the Pokémon is under 50% HP when using the move, it will still have its Attack raised 2 stages due to a bug.

Trivia
- Belly Drum is the only move that is capable of raising a single stat by more than three levels, not counting Psych Up, Power Swap, Guard Swap, and Heart Swap.
- While Shell Smash causes a net total of eight stat changes, Belly Drum can cause more stat changes if the user has experienced at least a -3 stat change to its Attack stat, reaching twelve stat changes if the user has a -6 Attack stat change.
- Due to how both this move and Darmanitan's Zen Mode Ability work, Belly Drum can force Darmanitan to change its form (unless it is at full HP and has an odd maximum HP).
