Spit Up (Japanese:はきだすSpit Up) is a damage-dealingNormal-typemove introduced inGeneration III.

The Pokémon who are able to learn this move are also able to learn the related movesStockpile andSwallow, exceptQwilfish,Dewpider, andOverqwil, which cannot learn Swallow.

Effect

Generation III

This move will fail if the user has not usedStockpile. If Spit Up is used after stockpiling, Spit Up inflicts damage to the target and has no secondary effect. Itspower is 100, and itsdamage is multiplied by the number of times Stockpile was used.

After Spit Up is used (even if the opponentprotects itself from Spit Up), the stockpile count will be reset to 0.

Spit Up cannot cause acritical hit, and its damage is not varied by a random factor duringdamage calculation.

Spit Up can be used as the second move of aPokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 4 bonus appeal points ifStockpile was used in the previous turn.

Generation IV

Its power is now equal to 100 times the number of times Stockpile was used instead of multiplying damage.

Now that Stockpile increases the user's Defense and Special Defense, Spit Up now removes any Defense and Special Defense boosts gained through Stockpile. However, it simply will say the effect wore off without showing the stats changing, unlike Stockpile.

Spit Up can now cause a critical hit, but its damage is still not varied by a random factor during damage calculation.

Generation V onwards

This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: How does the "random factor" work?

The Stockpile removal is now shown as a stat change. For each Stockpile that successfully changed a defensive stat, that stat will drop by two stages if the Pokémon hasSimple at the time of using Spit Up, rise by one stage if the Pokémon hasContrary at that time, or drop by one stage with any other Ability. Stockpiles that did not result in stat changes (most likely because the stat was already maxed out) are not taken into account for this adjustment, but Stockpiles that resulted in stat changes which were later erased by a move such asHaze orClear Smog are.

Damage done by Spit Up is now varied by a random factor during damage calculation.

Spit Up can be used as part of aContest Spectacular combination, giving an extra three appeal points ifStockpile was used in the prior turn.

  • Due to a glitch inGeneration IV, when a Pokémon performs the Spit Up animation, its sprite is translated right by two pixels.
