--Darkmaster (talk) 04:39, 1 November 2013 (UTC)How would this ability affect a move like, say, Giga Impact? Would it attack once, then rest, making it a one turn move? Would it attack twice and rest for 2 turns? Or would it be attack twice, then rest one turn? I am just curious.

Just tested. They both hit on the same round, and then recharge on the next turn, and are able to act again on the turn after. So, it works exactly like it would with any other Pokemon. When using an attack with Parental Bond, it will say "Hit 2 times!" as if it were a move like Double Hit. PowerPlantRaichu (talk) 18:42, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Power-Up Punch

Power up Punch and similar moves give their bonuses twice when used with Parental Bond. PowerPlantRaichu (talk) 19:24, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Damage Reduction

Does anyone know the exact damage reduction for the second hit. I have read 50% on Smogon but I'm not sure how reliable that number is. Ctom42 (talk) 15:18, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Earthquake

The article currently mentions earthquake only hitting once in horde and triple battles. What about double battles? And is it just earthquake or is it all moves which hit multiple opponents? Or is it all moves which hit both opponents and allies? Also do those type of moves have a specific name I can tag them as, similar to how multi-hit moves are tagged right now?
