Double Kick (Japanese: にどげり Double Kick) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Double Kick inflicts damage, striking twice per use. Although only the first hit can be a critical hit, the second hit will deal the same amount of damage.

Double Kick will not hit twice if the first hit breaks a Substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the second hit of this move.

Generation II

Same as Generation I, but both hits will do damage independently, consequently enabling either of them to be critical.

Generation III

If the target has an Ability which activates upon contact, each hit counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

Generation IV

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

Generation V

Unlike previous generations, if the first hit activates the target's Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy, the second hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint; however, Focus Band can still activate again to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one. Each hit will cause Weak Armor to activate.

If the target is holding a Rocky Helmet, the user is damaged for each hit.

Trivia

• The animation for Double Kick in Generation V games shows the user giving two kicks per hit. However, since the move always hits twice, the animation shows the user kicking the opponent four times. The same thing happens with Double Hit.
