Low Kick (Japanese: けたぐり Kick Down) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I that deals varying damage. Prior to Pokémon Yellow, it was the signature move of the Machop evolution line.
Effect
Generation I
Low Kick has a power of 50 and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch. Accuracy in this Generation is 90%.
Low Kick can't make a target with a Substitute flinch.
Generation II
Same as before, but with a 100% accuracy.
Generation III and on
Low Kick doesn't have a standard power; rather, it inflicts greater damage on a heavier target. Low Kick's power is calculated as follows (note that Game Freak used weight in kilograms for all the cutoffs):
Target's Weight (metric) | (US customary) | Power |
---|---|---|
0.1 - 10 kg | 0.1 - 22 lb | |
10.1 - 25 kg | 22.1 - 55.1 lb | |
25.1 - 50 kg | 55.2 - 110.2 lb | |
50.1 - 100 kg | 110.3 - 220.5 lb | |
100.1 - 200 kg | 220.6 - 440.9 lb | |
200.1 kg or more | 441 lb or more |
It has also lost its ability to cause flinching.
Mystery Dungeon
Low Kick has fixed base power, but the damage is multiplied by a factor based on the Pokédex weight of the Pokémon.
Target's Weight | Multiplier |
---|---|
Less than 20kg | 153/256 (60%) |
20kg - 29.9kg | 179/256 (70%) |
30kg - 39.9kg | 204/256 (80%) |
40kg - 49.9kg | 230/256 (90%) |
50kg - 59.9kg | 256/256 (100%) |
60kg - 69.9kg | 281/256 (110%) |
70kg - 79.9kg | 307/256 (120%) |
80kg - 199kg | 332/256 (130%) |
200kg or more | 358/256 (140%) |

Trivia
- This move is the second to have their English name be used as a Japanese name for another move, as "Low Kick" is used as the Japanese name for Low Sweep. The first is Comet Punch, whose name was used for the Japanese name of Meteor Mash.
- Because of this, in Ash and Trip's Third Battle!, Low Sweep is mistakenly called Low Kick in the dub.
