Double Kick (Japanese: にどげり Double Kick) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.
Effect
Generation I
Double Kick does damage, hitting twice per use. Though technically only the first hit can critical hit, each hit per use will do the same amount of damage.
Double Kick will end immediately if it breaks a Substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge one hit of a Double Kick attack.
Generations II and III
Same as Generation I, but either hit can be critical. Both hits can do different damage.
Generation IV
Same as Generations II and III, except it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.
Generation V
Unlike previous generations, if Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activate before the last hit is dealt, the following hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. Each hit will also cause Broken Armor to activate.

Trivia
- The animation for double kick in Generation 4 games shows the user giving two kicks per hit. However, since the move always hits twice, the animation shows the user kicking the oponent 4 times. The same thing happens with the moves double hit and triple kick.
