Comet-Punch Move Detail
Comet Punch is a Normal-type move with variable power and 85% accuracy. It is a multi-strike move that hits the target 2-5 times in a single turn. Each individual hit has a power of 18, and if all five hits connect, the total base power can reach 90. The probability of hitting 2, 3, 4, or 5 times is 37.5%, 37.5%, 12.5%, and 12.5%, respectively. Comet Punch is often used for its potential to break through the opponent's Substitute or to take advantage of abilities that activate with multiple hits. Despite its randomness, it can be a valuable move for delivering multiple blows in quick succession.
