Hyper Beam (Japanese: はかいこうせん Destruction Beam) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

It is:

Effect

Generation I

Hyper Beam inflicts damage. A recharge turn is required on the turn after damage is done, during which no action may be performed.

Hyper Beam will not require a recharge turn if it misses, it breaks a substitute, it knocks out the target, the user is targeted by a binding move (even if it misses), the user flinches, or the user is put to sleep after the attack but before the recharge turn. However, being frozen does not prevent the need for the recharge turn of Hyper Beam. If the user is confused, the recharge turn of Hyper Beam will not count towards the number of turns the user will remain confused.

If one Pokémon attacks first with a binding move that misses in a round in which the other Pokémon must recharge from a use of Hyper Beam, the user of Hyper Beam will automatically use Hyper Beam again during that turn instead of recharging. If at such a time Hyper Beam has 0 PP, Hyper Beam will still be used, and afterward its PP will roll over to 63, and full PP Ups will be applied to it.

An opponent can still use items on the user while it's recharging, in which case it will recharge the turn after.

In Pokémon Stadium, Hyper Beam requires a recharge turn every time it is used.

Generation II

Hyper Beam will always need to recharge if it hits, regardless if it knocks the opponent or a substitute out, unless the battle is completed in that turn or the attack misses. The binding move glitch has been fixed.

Generation III

If the user has Truant, the recharge and "loafing around" take place on the same turn.

Hyper Beam is now affected by the King's Rock.

Generation IV onwards

Hyper Beam is now special instead of physical, with a physical equivalent, Giga Impact, added.

Generation VIII

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Hyper Beam reduces the user's action speed instead of forcing it to recharge.

In other games

Mighty Tyranitar

Hyper Beam in Mighty Tyranitar

In the Aquapolis e-Reader minigame Mighty Tyranitar, Hyper Beam is used by Tyranitar to destroy incoming rocks being fired out from an erupting volcano. Unlike in the main games, Hyper Beam does not require charging and can be used consecutively.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Hyper Beam inflicts damage. If the move hits the target successfully, the user is inflicted with the recoil status condition for 1 turn (prior to Gates to Infinity, this move inflicted the Paused status condition), preventing them from acting on the next turn.

In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, Hyper Beam will create a 3×3 explosion around the target (or wall), dealing damage to allies and enemies by an amount determined by the normal damage formula, and destroys walls and items caught in the blast. When used by a Gigantic Pokémon, the move can reach enemies up to 10 tiles away in front of the user, and will pierce through enemies and walls (without breaking them), affecting all enemies within the 10 tile range.

In animation

Pokémon animated series

  • Mewtwo has been confirmed to know Hyper Beam. However, it has only been used in the radio drama The Birth of Mewtwo, so it has never been seen using it.
  • Baron Alberto knew Hyper Beam when he was a Pokémon, due to the fact that his Lickilicky knows the move.

Trivia

The Pokéquiz formatting error
  • Most Pokémon that can learn Giga Impact through TM can learn Hyper Beam through TM, and vice versa.
    • It and Giga Impact can be learned via TM by many fully evolved Pokémon that can learn TMs, including Pokémon that were fully evolved at one point but later received one or more evolved forms, such as Porygon or Seadra.
  • In Generation I, the Dratini family were the only Pokémon not fully evolved or single stage that could learn Hyper Beam, though possibly due to an oversight could only get it by level up not TM.
  • On Kids' WB!, a Pokémon: Orange Island Adventures Pokéquiz segment aired during Pokémon Food Fight! incorrectly formatted Hyper Beam's name as "Hyperbeam."
  • In the Brazilian dub of the animated series, Hyper Beam has been given many names, such as Hiper-farol, Hiper-fusão, Super-chama, and Raio Solar (Solar Beam), the last one tending to cause much confusion because it is the Brazilian dub name of Solar Beam.
  • In the Dutch dub of the animated series, especially in the first few seasons, it's often incorrectly translated to "Hydro Straal", which translates to "Hydro Beam".
  • In the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a quiz question in Cinnabar Gym that asks if TM28 contains TombstonerRBY or TombstonyFRLG. In the original Japanese versions, the move is called しねしねこうせん Shineshine Kōsen, which can translate into a silly expression such as "Die-Die Beam" or "Die! Beam", playing on Hyper Beam's Japanese name, はかいこうせん Hakai Kōsen (Destruction Beam).
  • Since Generation VI, the move has the same sound effect as it originally did in Generations I and II.
  • In Pokémon Masters EX, Hyper Beam was the first usable move to cost four move-gauge slots. It premiered on Lance & Dragonite on December 26, 2019.
