Switching/Fainting

If a Pokémon uses Gigaton Hammer and switches out, can it use Gigaton Hammer again immediately once it switches back in?

If not: if the Pokémon faints and is then revived, is the Gigaton Hammer counter reset? SuperBonbon (talk) 14:31, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Moves failing

In my experience, Tinkaton using a move into Protect does not free up the use of Gigaton Hammer. Can this be looked into more, such as with paralysis, confusion, sleep, flinching? Hero231 (talk) 09:05, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Different Animation

• I was using Metronome in SV with Delphox (trying to get Burn Up) and got Gigaton Hammer, and its animation was different, I'll be uploading a screenshot of it later. PinkYoshiGaming (talk) 16:31, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Encore effect

In Pokémon showdown if Encore is used after Gigaton Hammer but on the same turn, the user of Gigaton Hammer will struggle on the next turn. If Encore is used on the next turn before the user of Gigaton Hammer moves, the user of Gigaton Hammer will be able to use it a second time and then struggle on subsequent turns. I went to report it as a bug but was assured that it was acting as intended. Someone should double check this in the actual game and if that's how it works this page, and the Blood Moon page should be updated for accuracy. Raparent (talk) 00:35, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
