Pain Split (Japanese:いたみわけPain Split) is a non-damagingNormal-typemove introduced inGeneration II. Prior toGeneration IV, it was thesignature move ofMisdreavus, but other Pokémon could still inherit it viabreeding. It isTM202 inPokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Effect

Generation II

Pain Split adds the currentHP of the user and target Pokémon. It then divides this value by two, rounds down if necessary, and increases or decreases the HP of each Pokémon to become equal to the result (limited by each Pokémon's maximum HP). This setting of HP is not subject to effects such asCounter orBide. Pain Split does not employtype effectiveness, so it can also affectGhost-type Pokémon.

Pain Split has anaccuracy of 100.

Pain Split fails if the target is behind asubstitute.

Generation III

Pain Split now bypassesaccuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in thesemi-invulnerable turn of a move such asDig orFly.

In Generation III only, a loss of HP due to Pain Split contributes to the accumulated damage ofBide; it still is not subject to other effects such asCounter.

Pain Split can be used as the second move of aPokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point ifEndure was used in the previous turn.

Generation IV onwards

Pain Split can no longer contribute to the accumulated damage ofBide.

It is also part of aContest Spectacular combination and will give an extra three appeal points if the moveEndure was used in the prior turn.

If powered up by aNormalium Z into Z-Pain Split, the user'sDefense stat rises by one stage.

Generation VIII

Pain Split averages the two Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP, calculates the signed difference between that average and each Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP, then changes each Pokémon's HP by that signed difference.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Pain Split isTrevenant's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 and upgradingBranch Poke into it instead ofHorn Leech. The user creates a link between them and a designated enemy for 6s. While the link holds, a portion of the damage the user receives is redirected to the linked enemy. The lower the user's remaining HP, the greater the percentage of damage that is redirected. Additionally, if the user's percentage of remaining HP is lower than the linked enemy, this move continuously deals damage and recovers the user's HP equal to the damage dealt every .5s. If the user and the linked enemy are too far apart, the link will disappear. Using this move increases the user's movement speed for a short time. At level 13, the link's duration is increased to 8.5s.

Trivia

  • Pain Split's Japanese name is a phrase that is specifically asumo wrestling term used formerly in the rule, which refers to calling a draw on a match because one player is too injured to continue.
  • InGeneration III, the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it ignores accuracy and evasion checks.
  • IfShedinja uses Pain Split (viaMimic), it will cut the target'sHP in half, similarly toSuper Fang.
