Fury Cutter (Japanese: れんぞくぎり Consecutive Cut) is a damage-dealing Bug-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TM49 in Generation II.

Effect

Fury Cutter starts out with a low base power of 10. Every time Fury Cutter is used successfully, its power will double.

After this attack has been used 5 times, the power will no longer increase, meaning Fury Cutter can reach a maximum base power of 160.
