Heavy Slam (Japanese: ヘビーボンバー Heavy Bomber) is a damage-dealing Steel-type move introduced in Generation V. It is TR79 in Generation VIII.
Contents
Effect
Generations V and VI
Heavy Slam deals damage. Its power depends on the weight of both the user and the target; the lighter the target is in comparison to the user, the greater the power:
Target's relative weight | Power |
---|---|
More than 50% | 40 |
33.35% - 50% | 60 |
25.01% - 33.34% | 80 |
20.01% - 25% | 100 |
20% or less | 120 |
Generation VII
If the target has used Minimize, Heavy Slam now 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
Heavy Slam will fail against a Dynamax target.

Trivia
- The Pokémon with the best usage for this move is Celesteela.
- Only the 75 (including Mega Evolved Pokémon) heaviest Pokémon (less than 10% of all Pokémon) will not experience a 120 base power Heavy Slam from a Celesteela, due to the majority of Pokémon weighing less than 199.998 kg (20% of 999.99 kg).
- With a weight of 2.2 lbs., Flapple is the lightest Pokémon that can have this move.
