Counter
FightingSummary
Counter is a Fighting-type move with no base power or accuracy rating because it functions based on how much damage it takes. When hit by a physical move, Counter returns double the received damage to the opponent. It only works if the user was hit by a physical attack in the same turn. While Counter is highly situational, it can be a strategic choice to turn the tide in battles when predicting physical attacks. Counter does not affect Ghost-types due to its Fighting-type classification.
Effect
Targets the last opposing Pokémon to hit the user with a physical move this turn. Inflicts twice the damage that move did to the user. If there is no eligible target, this move will fail. Type immunity applies, but other type effects are ignored. This move cannot be copied by mirror move, nor selected by assist or metronome.
Short Effect: Inflicts twice the damage the user received from the last physical hit it took.
