Tail Slap (Japanese: スイープビンタ Sweep Slap) is a damage-dealing Normal-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation V. It is the signature move of Minccino and Cinccino.
Effect
Tail Slap inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a 16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 16.7% chance it will hit 5 times. On average, it will hit 3.168 times, giving it an average power of 79.2, ignoring the possibility of missing. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a critical hit.
Tail Slap will continue attacking after a substitute is broken. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.
If the target has an Ability which activates upon contact, each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.
A Pokémon with the Ability Skill Link will always hit five times when using Tail Slap, unless it misses.
If Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activate before the last strike is dealt, the following one will cause the defending Pokémon to faint; however, Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.
Each strike will activate Weak Armor.
If the target is holding a Rocky Helmet, the user is damaged for each strike.
