Double Iron Bash (Japanese: ダブルパンツァー Double Panzer) is a damage-dealing Steel-type multistrike move introduced in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. It is the signature move of Melmetal.

Effect

Double Iron Bash inflicts damage, hitting the target twice per use, and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch with each hit.

If a Focus Sash activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent. Sturdy will activate with each hit if the defending Pokémon has a maximum HP of 1.

Generation VII

If the target has used Minimize, Double Iron Bash deals double its regular damage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

Generation VIII onwards

Double Iron Bash no longer has a special interaction with Minimize.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
