Explosion

Normal

Summary

Explosion is a Normal-type move with 250 power and 100% accuracy. Upon use, Explosion causes the user to faint immediately after the move is executed, making it a high-risk, high-reward option. It is one of the most powerful moves in terms of base power in the Pokémon series. Due to its immense power, it is often used strategically in battles to ensure a significant amount of damage to the opponent, potentially even taking down a troublesome foe. Explosion’s effectiveness can be further enhanced when used in conjunction with moves or abilities that increase the user's Attack stat. Despite its potency, the resulting self-faint means trainers must use it with careful consideration of timing and battle status.
