Pin Missile (Japanese: ミサイルばり Missile Needle) is a mostly accurate Bug-type move introduced in Generation I that deals very little damage.

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.
