Arm Thrust (Japanese:つっぱりThrust) is a damage-dealingFighting-typemultistrike move introduced inGeneration III. Prior toGeneration V, it was one of thesignature moves ofMakuhita andHariyama.

Effect

Generations III and IV

Arm Thrust inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Each strike made has an equal chance to be acritical hit.

Arm Thrust may continue attacking after breaking a substitute.Bide andCounter will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

If the target hasan Ability that activates upon contact, each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

Pokémon with the AbilitySkill Link will always hit five times when using Arm Thrust unless it misses.

Arm Thrust can be used as the second move of aPokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points ifFake Out orFocus Energy was used in the previous turn.

If the user is holding aKing's Rock orRazor Fang, each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent toflinch.

Generation V onwards

There is now a 35% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 35% chance it will hit 3 times, a 15% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 15% chance it will hit 5 times. The average total base power is now 46.5.

If aFocus Sash activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. AFocus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent. Sturdy will activate with each hit if the defending Pokémon has a maximum HP of 1.

If the target hasWeak Armor orStamina, each strike will activate it.

If the target is holding aRocky Helmet, the user is damaged for each strike.
