Episodes

Differences between Pokémon

  • Cacnea: The pins are created in the dark green spines that sorrounds its wrists, first they turn withe and then they go to the front to fire the pins, simulating fingers.

In other languages

Polish: Igłowy Pocisk, Spanish: Pin Misil.

Effect

Generation I

Pin Missile does damage, hitting 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. Though technically only the first hit can critical hit, each hit per use will do the same amount of damage.

Pin Missile will end immediately if it breaks a substitute. Bide will only acknowledge one hit of a Pin Missile attack.
