Hyper Beam (Japanese: はかいこうせん Destruction Beam) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I. It can be learned via TM by many fully evolved Pokémon that can learn TMs, including Pokémon that were fully evolved at one point but later received one or more evolved forms, such as Porygon or Seadra.
Effect
Generation I
Hyper Beam inflicts damage. A recharge turn is required on the turn after damage is done, during which no action may be performed. the only exception to this is the Champion's ,Lance, Aerodactyl which does not require to recharge unless it uses it twice in a row.
Hyper Beam will not require a recharge turn if it misses, breaks a Substitute, defeats the target, or if the user is targeted by a partial trapping move (even if it misses), flinches, or is put to sleep after the attack but before the recharge turn. However, freeze does not negate the recharge turn of Hyper Beam. If the user is confused, the recharge turn of Hyper Beam will not count towards the number of turns the user will remain confused.
In a round where the target attacks before a user which must recharge, if the opponent uses a partial trapping move that misses, the user will automatically use Hyper Beam during that turn. If at such a time Hyper Beam has 0 PP, Hyper Beam will still be used, and afterward its PP will roll over to 63, and full PP Ups will be applied to it.
In Stadium, Hyper Beam requires a recharge turn every time it is used.
Generation II and on
Hyper Beam will always recharge if it hits, even if the target is knocked out, unless the battle is completed in that turn. If the user has Truant, the recharge and "loafing around" take place on the same turn.

In other generations
Trivia
- Hyper Beam was a physical move in the first three generations; now it is a special move. Its physical equivalent is Giga Impact.
- Dratini, Larvitar, Remoraid, Trapinch, and Klink are the only Pokémon that can learn Hyper Beam without reaching their final evolutionary stage (excluding species whose evolutions were added in later generations).
- However, Venonat could learn it via TM prior to Generation III.
- Kabuto could also learn the move via TM in Pokémon Yellow only.
- In Generation I, Clefable and Golduck are the only fully evolved Pokémon that can learn TMs that can't learn Hyper Beam via TM15. This was changed in subsequent generations.
- In Generations I and II, Dratini and Dragonair learn Hyper Beam via level up, but are incompatible with the TM for it.
- In the anime, Hyper Beam is commonly used without having to recharge.
- Also, in Pokémon Stadium, if a Pokémon defeats its opponent with this move, it does not need a recharge turn.
- In the movies, Hyper Beam is a very common move used by the larger legendary Pokémon.
- In the Brazilian dub of the anime, Hyper Beam has been given many names, such as Hiper-farol, Hiper-fusão, Super-chama and Raio Solar, the latter causing many confusion due to its homonym.
