Self-Destruct (Japanese: じばく Self-Destruct), formatted as Selfdestruct prior to Generation VI, is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

It is:

TM36 in Generation I.
TM42 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
TM20 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
TM048 in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Effect

Self-Destruct inflicts damage and causes the user to faint.

Sturdy or a held Focus Band or Focus Sash does not prevent the user from fainting.

This move cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability Damp is on the field.

Generation I

Though its power is listed as 130, the target's Defense will be halved during damage calculation (unless it is at a value of 1), effectively doubling the power to 260.

The user of Self-Destruct will faint even if the attack misses or the opponent is immune to it (due to being Ghost type).

If Self-Destruct breaks a target's substitute, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Self-Destruct had a substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.

If the user of Self-Destruct attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Self-Destruct breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense (260).

Generation II

Self-Destruct's power is increased to 200. The target's Defense is still halved, effectively doubling the power to 400.

The user of Self-Destruct will now faint even if the target is behind a substitute, or is protected against it.

If the user of Self-Destruct attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not attack this turn, but is subjected to end-of-turn damage such as from sandstorm.

Unlike the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Self-Destruct's power before halving Defense.

If Self-Destruct is selected, but fails due to confusion, then the user takes more confusion damage as well.

Generation III

The user's sprite no longer disappears upon using the move.

If the user of Self-Destruct attacks first and faints itself, all other Pokémon may still attack this turn.

Generation IV

If all targets of Self-Destruct have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Self-Destruct is being executed, Self-Destruct will fail and the user will not faint.

Self-Destruct's temporary Defense drop no longer boosts confusion damage.

Generation V

Self-Destruct no longer halves the target's Defense. The user faints before dealing damage, unlike in previous generations.

If all targets of Self-Destruct have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Self-Destruct is being executed, the user of Self-Destruct will now faint regardless.

Generation VI onwards

Self-Destruct returns to damaging the target before the user faints.

Self-Destruct can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves Block, Mean Look or Spider Web was used in the prior turn.

If used in a Max or Tera Raid Battle, Self-Destruct fails, and the user does not faint.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the user receives recoil damage instead of fainting, with the exact recoil amount depending on the style used.

Self-Destruct fails if the move misses, or the target is immune.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Self-Destruct causes a 3×3 explosion centered on the user, that targets all Pokémon in the range; ally or enemy. From Super Mystery Dungeon, the move is instead classified as a status move and the user will first give itself the Self-Destruct status condition. With this, the user will only explode if attacked on the next turn without fainting. The move can be used in an Alliance.

Regardless of the user, the explosion halves the current HP of the player's Pokémon (dealing at least 1 HP of damage) and deals 40 HP damage to other Pokémon. Starting in Super Mystery Dungeon, enemies take damage equal to 100% of their HP. All Fire-type Pokémon take half the usual damage from Self-Destruct.

Self-Destruct also destroys all items and wall tiles (other than those on the edge of the floor and in locked chambers) in range. It does not destroy walls in Gates to Infinity. This move cannot be used if the current weather on the floor is rain, or if there is a Pokémon with Damp somewhere on the floor.

Trivia

In Generation I, if Self-Destruct or Explosion knocks out the last remaining Pokémon on both sides of the field simultaneously, the player will black out as normal, but the victory music will still play.
In Generations II and III, if a Pokémon attempts to use Self-Destruct or Explosion but hurts itself in confusion instead, the confusion damage is boosted by the move's Defense-halving effect.
Self-Destruct, Explosion, and Misty Explosion are the only three damaging moves whose battle animations play out even if they would miss or have no effect.
If Self-Destruct is upgraded into the Z-Move Breakneck Blitz, that Breakneck Blitz will have the same power as Self-Destruct (200).
