Spike-Cannon Move Detail
Spike Cannon is a Normal-type move with 20 power and 100% accuracy. It hits the target 2 to 5 times in a single turn, making its total potential power range from 40 to 100. This multi-strike feature adds an element of unpredictability, which can bypass abilities like Substitute if at least one hit connects. Spike Cannon is one of the signature moves of Cloyster, emphasizing the Pokémon's theme of launching sharp spikes at its opponents. Although it lacks any secondary effects, its reliability and unique multi-hit mechanism make it an interesting choice in battles.
