Self-Destruct Move Detail
Self-Destruct is a Normal-type move with a power of 200 and 100% accuracy. When used, the user causes an explosion that deals massive damage to the target but results in the user fainting. Due to its high base power, Self-Destruct is often used as a last-resort move to turn the tides of battle, sacrificing the user to significantly damage or KO the opponent. It is distinct from Explosion, a similar move, but with slightly lower power and the same self-fainting consequence. Self-Destruct can target all adjacent Pokémon in double battles, making it a strategic option that requires careful planning.
