Icicle Spear is an Ice-type move with a power of 25 and 100% accuracy. It is a multi-strike move that hits the target 2-5 times in one turn. Each individual hit has a separate chance to land, but once the first hit lands, subsequent hits are guaranteed to hit unless affected by another factor like Protect or Substitute. The move has the potential to break through substitutes and multi-hit moves can also be useful for breaking Focus Sash or Sturdy abilities. While each hit is relatively weak on its own, the combined power can be quite significant, especially with abilities like Skill Link, which guarantees that it will always hit the maximum five times. This move is often used by Pokémon with the aforementioned ability to maximize damage output.
