Effect

Flail inflicts damage and has no additional effect. Its power is based on the user's current HP as a percentage of its maximum HP, which is higher the lower the user's HP is.

Power	HP%
	All other generations	Generation IV
20	HP ≥ 68.8%	HP ≥ 67.2%
40	35.4% ≤ HP < 68.8%	34.4% ≤ HP < 67.2%
80	20.8% ≤ HP < 35.4%	20.3% ≤ HP < 34.4%
100	10.4% ≤ HP < 20.8%	9.4% ≤ HP < 20.3%
150	4.2% ≤ HP < 10.4%	3.1% ≤ HP < 9.4%
200	HP < 4.2%	HP < 3.1%

Generation II

Flail cannot cause a critical hit, and its damage is not varied by a random factor during damage calculation.

Generation III onwards

Flail can now cause a critical hit, and its damage is now varied by a random factor during damage calculation.

Flail can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if Endure was used in the previous turn.

Flail is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination and will give an extra three appeal points if the move Endure was used in the prior turn.

Flail deals damage. Its power is higher when the user's HP is lower.

In the Rescue Team series, Flail's final damage is multiplied by 2 when at 51-75% HP, 4 when at 26-50% and 8 when at 25% or lower.

In the Explorers series, the damage is multiplied by 1.5 at 26-50% HP and by 2 at 25% or lower.
