On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VIII Generation IX

Terrain Pulse (Japanese: だいちのはどう Terrain Pulse) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation VIII.

Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Is this a pulse move? Does Mega Launcher affect base power? You can discuss this on the talk page.

Terrain Pulse deals damage. When there is no terrain active, Terrain Pulse is a Normal-type move. Under any type of terrain, Terrain Pulse's power doubles to 100 (type power-ups from the terrain will be put into effect in addition to this boost).

Terrain Pulse's type changes depending on the terrain at the time it is used.

• Electric-type if the battlefield is Electric Terrain.
• Grass-type if the battlefield is Grassy Terrain.
• Fairy-type if the battlefield is Misty Terrain.
• Psychic-type if the battlefield is Psychic Terrain.

When used as a Max Move, Terrain Pulse will display as Max Strike but will change into the appropriately typed Max Move upon execution, depending on the present terrain when Max Strike is actually executed.

Description

Games Description SwSh The user utilizes the power of the terrain to attack. This move's type and power changes depending on the terrain when it's used.
