Bullet-Punch Move Detail
Bullet Punch is a Steel-type move with 40 power and 100% accuracy. Its most notable feature is its priority status, meaning it almost always allows the user to strike first, regardless of the target’s speed. This makes Bullet Punch especially useful for finishing off weakened opponents or for outspeeding and hitting faster foes. The move does not have any additional secondary effects. It is commonly associated with Pokémon that have the Technician ability, such as Scizor, which boosts the move's power to 60, making it more formidable. Bullet Punch is a staple in competitive play for many Steel-type Pokémon and those that benefit from priority moves.
