Horn Drill inflicts damage equal to the target's current {{stat|HP}}. Horn Drill will break a {{m|substitute}} if it hits. If it misses, it can be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage.


Horn Drill will not affect a target whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.
===Generation II===
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Horn Drill cannot be countered for infinite damage if it misses. Horn Drill's accuracy is displayed as —.


===Generation II===
===Generations III to VI===
Unlike in Generation I, Horn Drill can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Horn Drill depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula: Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target) + 30)%. Horn Drill ignores all changes to accuracy and evasion stats.
Horn Drill can no longer be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage if it misses.

Trivia

  • Despite the implied need for a horn or horn-like apparatus to use this move, at least two Pokémon that don't have a horn but gain one upon evolution (Nidorina and Ponyta) can learn Horn Drill.
