'''Explosion''' (Japanese '''だいばくはつ''' ''Giant Explosion'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is currently the most powerful move in terms of its base power, being a more powerful move than the similar {{m|Selfdestruct}}.

'''Explosion''' (Japanese: '''だいばくはつ''' ''Giant Explosion'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[TM47]] in Generation I and is [[TM64]] from [[Generation IV]] to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as well as in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.


==Effect==
==Effect==
Explosion inflicts damage, and causes the user to faint.
{{a|Sturdy}} or a held [[Focus Band]] or [[Focus Sash]] does not prevent the user from fainting.
This move cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}} is on the field.
===Generation I===
===Generation I===
Explosion does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is 170, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 340. The game will bump 0 up to 1 to avoid infinite damage, so Explosion will then effectively have a power of 170 if used against a target with a Defense value of 1.
{{MoveResearch|Check whether this line applies to both [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)]] and the international [[Pokémon Stadium]]: "In Pokémon Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, i.e. 340."}}
Though its [[power]] is listed as 170, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved during [[damage]] calculation (unless it is at a value of 1), effectively doubling the power to 340.
 
The user of Explosion will faint even if the attack misses or the opponent is immune to it (due to being {{t|Ghost}} type).
 
If Explosion breaks a target's {{OBP|substitute|doll}}, the user will not faint, though its sprite will be replaced by a blank image. If the user of Explosion had a substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular sprite will once again become visible.
 
If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not act or be subjected to recurrent damage during that turn.
 
In Pokémon Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, i.e. 340.
 
===Generation II===
Explosion's power is [[List of modified moves|increased]] to 250. The target's Defense is still halved, effectively doubling the power to 500.
 
The user of Explosion will now faint even if the target is behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}, or is {{cat|protection moves|protected}} against it.
 
If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not attack this turn, but is subjected to end-of-turn damage such as from {{weather|sandstorm}}.
 
Unlike in the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Explosion's power before halving Defense.
 
If Explosion is selected, but fails due to {{status|confusion}}, then the user takes more confusion damage as well.
 
===Generation III===
The user's sprite no longer disappears upon using the move.
 
If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, all other Pokémon may still attack this turn.
 
===Generation IV===
If all targets of Explosion have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Explosion is being executed, Explosion will fail and the user will not faint.
 
Explosion's temporary Defense drop no longer boosts confusion damage.
 
===Generation V===
Explosion no longer halves the target's Defense. The user faints before dealing damage, unlike in previous generations.
 
If all targets of Explosion have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Explosion is being executed, the user of Explosion will now faint regardless.
 
===Generation VI onwards===
Explosion returns to damaging the target before the user faints.
 
Explosion can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Block}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Spider Web}} were used in the prior turn.
 
If used in a [[Max Raid Battle|Max]] or [[Tera Raid Battle]], Explosion fails, and the user does not faint.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Explosion causes a 5×5 explosion centered on the user, that targets all Pokémon in the range; ally or enemy. From {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, the move is instead classified as a [[status move]] and the user will first give itself the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Explosion}} status condition. With this, the user will only explode if attacked on the next turn.


If Explosion breaks a target's {{m|Substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Explosion had a Substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series, the explosion deals 80 HP damage to enemy Pokémon and halves the current HP of the user and teammates (dealing at least 1 HP of damage). {{type|Fire}} take half the usual damage from Explosion. In Super Mystery Dungeon, the explosion will immediately defeat enemies in range, though Fire-type enemy Pokémon will only lose 50% of their HP. The damage to the user and teammates is the same as in previous games.


If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.
Explosion also destroys all items and wall tiles (other than those on the edge of the floor and in locked chambers) in range. This move cannot be used if the current weather on the floor is rain, or if there is a Pokémon with {{a|Damp}} somewhere on the floor. When used by a [[Gigantic Pokémon]] in Super Mystery Dungeon, the move's range is unchanged, however as it is calculated from the user's center, Explosion will only affect the one tile around the user.


In Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's Substitute, the user will faint.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* {{p|Lickilicky}} and {{p|Smeargle}} are the only Pokémon that can learn this attack and receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] on it. This is not considering the possibility of {{m|Metronome}} selecting Explosion randomly.
* Explosion is the only move with a base power of 250. It has the highest base power of all moves with fixed base power, surpassing even [[Z-Move]]s, [[Max Move]]s, and [[G-Max Move]]s.
* This attack can achieve up to 412.5 Base Power if powered up with {{p|Lickilicky}}'s STAB and a Silk Scarf.
** However, other moves can reach a higher base power than Explosion under certain conditions:
 
*** {{m|Last Respects}} can reach the highest base power of all moves if Pokémon faint 100 times on the user's side, with 5050. This can be done by using [[:Category:Reviving items|reviving items]] on fainted Pokémon and having them faint again.
==In other games==
*** {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Ice Ball}} can reach 960, if {{m|Defense Curl}} is used before.
{{g|Mystery Dungeon}}: Explosion does not cause the user to faint, but instead cuts its HP in half, and affects all Pokémon, items, and walls within 2 tiles of the user, reducing HP by half on teammates, by 80 on hostile Pokémon, and destroying all walls and items.
*** {{m|Stored Power}} and {{m|Power Trip}} can reach 860 if all of the user's [[stat]]s are raised by six stages each.
*** If the user has been hit six times, {{m|Rage Fist}} will reach a power of 350.
*** If {{m|Stockpile}} is used three times before {{m|Spit Up}} is used, the latter will reach a base power of 300.
* If Explosion is upgraded into the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, that Breakneck Blitz will have a lower base power than Explosion (200 versus Explosion's 250).
* In [[Generation I]], if <!--the player's Pokémon using-->{{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} or Explosion knocks out the last remaining Pokémon on both sides of the field simultaneously, the player will [[black out]] as normal, but the victory music still plays.
* Self-Destruct, Explosion, and {{m|Misty Explosion}} are the only three damaging moves whose battle animations play out even if they would miss or have no effect.
* All Pokémon that can have the [[Ability]] {{a|Aftermath}} can learn Explosion.

A move of huge appeal, but using it prevents the user from taking further contest moves.

Explosion (Japanese: だいばくはつ Giant Explosion) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It is TM47 in Generation I and is TM64 from Generation IV to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as well as in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Effect

Explosion inflicts damage, and causes the user to faint.

Sturdy or a held Focus Band or Focus Sash does not prevent the user from fainting.

This move cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability Damp is on the field.

Generation I

This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: Check whether this line applies to both Pokémon Stadium (Japanese) and the international Pokémon Stadium: "In Pokémon Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, i.e. 340."
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Though its power is listed as 170, the target's Defense will be halved during damage calculation (unless it is at a value of 1), effectively doubling the power to 340.

The user of Explosion will faint even if the attack misses or the opponent is immune to it (due to being Ghost type).

If Explosion breaks a target's substitute, the user will not faint, though its sprite will be replaced by a blank image. If the user of Explosion had a substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular sprite will once again become visible.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not act or be subjected to recurrent damage during that turn.

In Pokémon Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, i.e. 340.

Generation II

Explosion's power is increased to 250. The target's Defense is still halved, effectively doubling the power to 500.

The user of Explosion will now faint even if the target is behind a substitute, or is protected against it.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not attack this turn, but is subjected to end-of-turn damage such as from sandstorm.

Unlike in the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Explosion's power before halving Defense.

If Explosion is selected, but fails due to confusion, then the user takes more confusion damage as well.

Generation III

The user's sprite no longer disappears upon using the move.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, all other Pokémon may still attack this turn.

Generation IV

If all targets of Explosion have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Explosion is being executed, Explosion will fail and the user will not faint.

Explosion's temporary Defense drop no longer boosts confusion damage.

Generation V

Explosion no longer halves the target's Defense. The user faints before dealing damage, unlike in previous generations.

If all targets of Explosion have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Explosion is being executed, the user of Explosion will now faint regardless.

Generation VI onwards

Explosion returns to damaging the target before the user faints.

Explosion can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if Block, Mean Look or Spider Web were used in the prior turn.

If used in a Max or Tera Raid Battle, Explosion fails, and the user does not faint.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Explosion causes a 5×5 explosion centered on the user, that targets all Pokémon in the range; ally or enemy. From Super Mystery Dungeon, the move is instead classified as a status move and the user will first give itself the Explosion status condition. With this, the user will only explode if attacked on the next turn.

In the Rescue Team, Explorers and Adventure Squad series, the explosion deals 80 HP damage to enemy Pokémon and halves the current HP of the user and teammates (dealing at least 1 HP of damage). Fire-type take half the usual damage from Explosion. In Super Mystery Dungeon, the explosion will immediately defeat enemies in range, though Fire-type enemy Pokémon will only lose 50% of their HP. The damage to the user and teammates is the same as in previous games.

Explosion also destroys all items and wall tiles (other than those on the edge of the floor and in locked chambers) in range. This move cannot be used if the current weather on the floor is rain, or if there is a Pokémon with Damp somewhere on the floor. When used by a Gigantic Pokémon in Super Mystery Dungeon, the move's range is unchanged, however as it is calculated from the user's center, Explosion will only affect the one tile around the user.

Reason: Missing images from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!

Warning: The original animation from Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue contains several short flashes. This flashing has been modified in subsequent releases due to concerns that it may be able to cause epileptic seizures.

Trivia

  • Explosion is the only move with a base power of 250. It has the highest base power of all moves with fixed base power, surpassing even Z-Moves, Max Moves, and G-Max Moves.
    • However, other moves can reach a higher base power than Explosion under certain conditions:
      • Last Respects can reach the highest base power of all moves if Pokémon faint 100 times on the user's side, with 5050. This can be done by using reviving items on fainted Pokémon and having them faint again.
      • Rollout and Ice Ball can reach 960, if Defense Curl is used before.
      • Stored Power and Power Trip can reach 860 if all of the user's stats are raised by six stages each.
      • If the user has been hit six times, Rage Fist will reach a power of 350.
      • If Stockpile is used three times before Spit Up is used, the latter will reach a base power of 300.
  • If Explosion is upgraded into the Z-Move Breakneck Blitz, that Breakneck Blitz will have a lower base power than Explosion (200 versus Explosion's 250).
  • In Generation I, if Selfdestruct or Explosion knocks out the last remaining Pokémon on both sides of the field simultaneously, the player will black out as normal, but the victory music still plays.
  • Self-Destruct, Explosion, and Misty Explosion are the only three damaging moves whose battle animations play out even if they would miss or have no effect.
  • All Pokémon that can have the Ability Aftermath can learn Explosion.
