Steel Beam

Steel

Summary

Steel Beam is a Steel-type move with an impressive base power of 140 and 95% accuracy. One of the most powerful Steel-type attacks available, Steel Beam inflicts a significant amount of damage to the target. However, it comes with a drawback: the user loses HP equal to half of its maximum HP due to the heavy recoil of the beam. This high-risk, high-reward move is typically seen in competitive play where its sheer power can be game-changing, but must be used strategically to avoid knocking out the user prematurely. Steel Beam is one of the few moves that requires a delicate balance of timing and situational use, making it a fascinating choice for skilled players.
