Double-Edge is a Normal-type move with 120 power and 100% accuracy. It deals significant damage but causes the user to take recoil damage equal to one-third of the damage dealt to the target. Double-Edge is known for its high-risk, high-reward nature, often used by Pokémon with high attack stats to maximize damage output. Despite the drawback of recoil damage, it remains a popular choice for robust physical attackers who can handle the loss of HP or have abilities (like Rock Head) that negate recoil effects. Double-Edge has been a staple in numerous Pokémon move sets across generations due to its raw power and reliable accuracy.
