Fury Cutter (Japanese: れんぞくぎり Consecutive Cut) is a damage-dealing Bug-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TM49 in Generation II.

Effect

Generations II to IV

Fury Cutter starts with a base power of 10. Every time Fury Cutter hits the power will double, even if other moves are used in between. The power may double up to a maximum of 160 (which could take minimum 5 turns). If the user misses a move, the user hits itself in confusion, the user is switched out, or the player uses an item, the power will reset to normal.

Fury Cutter can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 3 bonus appeal points if Swords Dance was used in the previous turn.

Generation V

Fury Cutter's base power increased from 10 to 20, meaning that it takes four consecutive turns to reach the maximum power of 160. If another move is selected, its power will reset.

Generation VI onwards

Fury Cutter's base power increased even further from 20 to 40, meaning that it takes three consecutive turns to reach the maximum power of 160. If used by a Pokémon with Sharpness as its Ability, its power is increased by 50%.

This move has a multiplier that starts at ×1, and after a sync pair connects with this move, this multiplier doubles for that specific pair to a maximum of ×8 (with four or more consecutive uses).[1] However, if the same sync pair performs any other action (i.e., another move that the user's Trainer or Pokémon uses—or even a sync move) mid-succession or if this move misses, then this multiplier resets to ×1.
