Bonemerang (Japanese: ホネブーメラン Bone Boomerang) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I. It is one of the signature moves of the Cubone evolutionary line.

Effect

Generation I

Bonemerang inflicts damage, striking twice per use. Although only the first hit can technically cause a critical hit, each hit per use will do the same amount of damage.

Bonemerang will end immediately if it breaks a Substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.

Generation II and on

Same as before, except it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.
