Rock Blast (Japanese: ロックブラスト Rock Blast) is a damage-dealing Rock-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation III.
Effect
Generation III
Rock Blast inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. On average, it will hit 3 times, giving it an average power of 75, ignoring the possibility of missing. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a critical hit.
Rock Blast may continue attacking if it breaks a substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.
Generation IV
Pokémon with the Ability Skill Link will always hit five times when using Rock Blast if it does not miss.
Generation V
Accuracy increased from 80 to 90%. There is now 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.
Unlike previous generations, 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 cause Weak Armor to activate.
