Head Smash

Rock

Summary

Head Smash is a Rock-type move with 150 power and 80% accuracy. It is one of the most powerful Rock-type moves, but it also has a notable drawback: the user takes recoil damage equal to 50% of the damage dealt to the target. This high-risk, high-reward move is typically used by Pokémon with strong physical attack stats. Notably, Pokémon with the ability Rock Head can use Head Smash without suffering recoil damage, making it an exceptionally potent option for them. Despite its lower accuracy, Head Smash's immense power makes it a popular choice for players looking to maximize damage output in a single turn.
