Move Detail

Twineedle Move Detail

Twineedle is a Bug-type move with 25 power and 100% accuracy. It hits the target twice in one turn, which provides a higher chance to break through substitutes or focus sashes. Each hit has a 20% chance to poison the target, making it one of the few Bug-type moves that can inflict a status condition. Twineedle is one of the signature moves of Beedrill, utilizing its double stingers. Despite its lower base power, the move's unique ability to hit twice and potential to poison makes it a valuable addition to certain strategies in both casual and competitive play.
