Effect

Bullet Seed inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use.

Bullet Seed may continue attacking after breaking a substitute. Bide will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

Pokémon with Skill Link will always hit five times when using Bullet Seed unless it misses. Pokémon with Bulletproof are immune to Bullet Seed. Sturdy will activate with each hit if the defending Pokémon has a maximum HP of 1. If the target has Weak Armor or Stamina, each strike will activate it.

If the user is holding a King's Rock or Razor Fang, each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to flinch.

Generation III

Bullet Seed's base power is 10 per strike. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a critical hit.

Bullet Seed is a special move. Mirror Coat will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

Bullet Seed can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Growth was used in the previous turn.

Generation IV

Bullet Seed is now a physical move. Counter will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

Generation V onwards

Bullet Seed's base power was increased from 10 to 25. There is now a 35% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 35% chance it will hit 3 times, a 15% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 15% chance it will hit 5 times. The average total base power is now 77.5.

If a Focus Sash activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent.

Bullet Seed can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if the move Rototiller was used in the prior turn.

Generation IX

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Bullet Seed will always hit 5 times. When used as a Plus Move, it will always hit 6 times.

Bullet Seed inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. Each hit has a separate accuracy check, though the move will continue even when a hit fails. The move's critical-hit rate is reduced (2% in the Rescue Team, Explorers and Adventure Squad series).

Prior to Gates to Infinity, if a targeted Pokémon faints in middle of the attack, the remaining projectiles will be able to hit a new target, and are still executed if a Reviver Seed activates.
