Double-Edge (move)

Double-Edge (Japanese: すてみタックル Life-Risking Tackle) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I. It can be seen as a stronger version of the move Take Down.

Effect

Generation I

Double-Edge inflicts damage and the user receives recoil damage equal to 25% of the damage done to the target. Double-Edge has a Base Power of 100 in this generation.

If the user of Double-Edge attacks first and makes itself faint due to recoil damage, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

Self-inflicted recoil damage from Double-Edge from the previous turn can be countered if the target does not make a move on the following turn. If Double-Edge breaks a Substitute, the user will take no recoil damage.

In Pokémon Stadium, no recoil damage is taken if Double-Edge knocks out a target.

Generation II

Base power is increased to 120.

Generation III and on

Recoil is increased to ⅓ of damage done, rather than ¼.

Pokémon with Rock Head do not take recoil damage from this move.
