On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Beak Blast (Japanese:くちばしキャノンBeak Cannon) is a damage-dealingFlying-typemove introduced inGeneration VII. It is thesignature move ofToucannon.

Effect

Beak Blast is a decreasedpriority move. The user charges up at the beginning of the turn and executes Beak Blast at -3 priority. All who makecontact with the user during the charging phase areburned.

Its charging message is displayed before any other moves.

The charging phase occurs whether or not the user's status would prevent it from executing Beak Blast. For example, if the user is confused, the confusion check is performed before the strike, not the initial charge.

Pokémon withBulletproof are immune to Beak Blast, but are not immune to the burn.

Heating up Toucannon
The user first heats up its beak, and then it attacks the target.

User	First Used In		Notes
	The non-black part of Toucannon's beak heats up and glows orange. It then opens its beak and an orange orb of energy forms inside of it. It then fires a large orange beam of energy from the orb at the opponent.
