Effect

Generation I

Submission does damage, and the user receivesrecoil damage equal to 25% of the damage done to the target.

If the user of Submission attacks first and faints due to recoil damage, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round. However, the user will still be subject to recurrent damage even if the target faints. Self-inflicted recoil damage from Submission from the previous turn can be countered if the target does not make a move on the following turn. If Submission breaks asubstitute, the user will take no recoil damage.

In Stadium, no recoil damage is taken if Submission knocks out a target.

Generation II to V

The user will take recoil damage even if Submission breaks a substitute.

Submission can be used as the second move of aPokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 6 bonus appeal points ifMind Reader was used in the previous turn.

Generation VI

Submission's PP was changed from 25 to 20.

Generation IX

Submission cannot be selected in a battle.

In Pokémon UNITE, Submission isMachamp's first move. It is obtained by evolving intoMachoke at level 5 and upgradingBulk Up into it instead ofDynamic Punch. The user becomes unstoppable and gains significant movement speed for 5 seconds or until the next basic attack. The user’s next basic attack during Submission is enhanced, hitting twice and slamming the target down behind the user. If this attack hits the user also gains increased critical hit rate and attack speed for 3 seconds. At level 11, the critical hit rate and attack speed bonuses are increased.

Trivia

The move's Japanese name, じごくぐるまHell Wheel, is a reference to a mangaJūdō Icchokusen byIkki Kajiwara.
This move's English name comes from the professional wrestling termsubmission hold, which is executed as a variety ofMMA orjujutsu-inspired holds such as anarmlock,leglock, orchokehold, in the hopes the opponent will either give up or be incapacitated to the point that they can no longer fight. This does not match the move's appearance in the animated series.
Submission has the highest base PP and lowest power of allrecoil moves.
Submission's description inPokémon Stadium andStadium 2 falsely states it is the strongestFighting-type attack — inGeneration I,High Jump Kick is stronger in terms of base power, withCross Chop andDynamic Punch holding this status inGeneration II.
Submission is the only Fighting-type move that causes recoil damage if it hits.
