Explosion is an extremely damaging Template:Type2 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 Selfdestruct.

Effect

Generation I

Explosion does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is 170, the opponent's 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 an opponent with a Defense value of 1.

If Explosion breaks an opponent's 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.

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

In Stadium, if Explosion breaks an opponent's substitute, the user will faint.

Explosion has a power of 170 in Generation I.

Generation II and on

Explosion's base power was changed to the current 250. The Defense-halving step still applies, giving it an effective power of 500.
