On Smogon's Movedex:

Double-Edge (Japanese: すてみタックル Life-Risking Tackle) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM10 in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Double-Edge inflicts damage, and the user receives recoil damage equal to ¼ of the damage done to the target.

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.

Double-Edge has a base power of 100 in this generation.

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

Generation II

Double-Edge's base power is increased to 120. The user will take recoil damage even if a substitute breaks.

Generations III to VII

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

Double-Edge can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining an extra six appeal points if either the move Focus Energy or Harden was used in the prior turn.

Generation VIII

In Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, Double-Edge works as it did in previous generations.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Double-Edge's power was reduced from 120 to 100 and its PP was reduced from 15 to 5.
