On Smogon's Movedex: Generation IX

Hi Jump Kick (Japanese: とびひざげり Jumping Flame Kick) is a slightly inaccurate damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Hi Jump Kick does damage. If this attack misses, the user will take 1 point of crash damage. Since all attacks that do 0 damage miss, Hi Jump Kick will always miss if used against a ghost type.

If the user of Hi Jump Kick attacks first and faints itself due to crash damage, the opponent will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round. However, the user will still be subject to recurrent damage.

The crash damage from Hi Jump Kick can be reversed by Bide or Counter.
