Pound Move Detail

Pound is a Normal-type move with 40 power and 100% accuracy. It is one of the most basic and widely known attacks, often taught to many Pokémon at very early levels. Pound deals direct damage without any additional effects or secondary consequences. Despite its low power, it serves as a reliable move for beginners due to its perfect accuracy. Pound is often one of the first moves that new trainers encounter and is a staple in many early-game scenarios before more powerful moves are learned.
