Effect

When activated, this skill deals damage equal to 10% of the opponent's remaining HP before the match, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

• However, it cannot cause a Pokémon to faint (dealing as low as 0 damage, if necessary).
• On stages without an HP bar, such as competitive stages and weekend Meowth, it always deals 0 damage.
• This damage is unaffected by the Pokémon's attack power and any damage multipliers.

Skill level growth

Increasing skill level will increase the activation rate.
