Effect

Generation IV

Dragon Rush inflicts damage and has a 20% chance of causing the target toflinch.

Generation V

Dragon Rush is no longer affected byKing's Rock.

Generation VI onwards

If the target has usedMinimize, Dragon Rush now deals double its regular damage and bypassesaccuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in thesemi-invulnerable turn of a move such asDig orFly.

Generation IX

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Dragon Rush behaves similarly toHeat Crash andHeavy Slam causing the user to leap high up into the air (briefly avoiding moves that pass through their position), before crashing back down on the target. This is also similar toFly andBounce, though the user remains airborne for a much shorter time.

Notes:

  • Dragon Rush:

Super Smash Bros. series

InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, Dragon Rush is a custom move forCharizard, replacingFlare Blitz. When used, Charizard will dash at the opponent while spinning. When the move makes contact, it will carry the opponent while repeatedly damaging them. Unlike Flare Blitz andBlast Burn, Dragon Rush will not cause Charizard to damage itself when used. Mega Charizard X uses the same move when the A button is pressed, except it can be used in many different directions.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Dragon Rush isGarchomp's first move. It is obtained by evolving intoGabite at level 5 and upgradingSand Attack into it instead ofDig. The user jumps back, and briefly channels before diving forward, dragging all enemies within a small radius to the designated area and reducing damage taken by 35%, then deals damage in a radius. The user can useDragon Claw during the first half of the channel to provide two more hits and replace the radial damage at the end of the move with a damaging stun and slow. At level 11, the user becomes unstoppable during this move.
