Belch Move Detail

Belch is a Poison-type move with 120 power and 90% accuracy. It can only be used if the user has consumed a Berry during the battle. Given its high power, Belch can deliver significant damage, but its usability condition makes it less common in competitive play. The strategic requirement to eat a Berry means it is often paired with berries that activate under specific conditions or with abilities and moves that facilitate berry consumption. This move can be an unexpected and powerful technique in certain battle strategies.

Effect

Inflicts regular damage. Can only be used if the user has eaten a berry since the beginning of the battle. After the user eats a berry, it may use this move any number of times until the end of the battle, even if it switches out. Eating a held berry, eating a berry via bug bite or pluck, or being the target of a Flung berry will enable this move. Feeding a Pokémon a berry from the bag or using natural gift will not. If the trainer chooses this move when it cannot be used, the choice is rejected outright and the trainer must choose another move.
