On Smogon's Movedex: Generation IX

Twin Beam (Japanese: ツインビーム Twin Beam) is a damage-dealing Psychic-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation IX. It is the signature move of Girafarig and Farigiraf.

Effect

Twin Beam inflicts damage, hitting the target twice per use.

If a Focus Sash activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent. Sturdy will activate with each hit if the defending Pokémon has a maximum HP of 1.

Other effects

A Girafarig that knows Twin Beam evolves into Farigiraf when leveled up.

Description

Games Description SV The user shoots mystical beams from its eyes to inflict damage. The target is hit twice in a row.
