Belly Drum (Japanese: はらだいこ Belly Drum) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Belly Drum deducts one half of the user's maximum HP from its current HP and, in return, it maximizes the user's Attack stat by raising it up to +6 stages, even if the user's temporary Attack bonus stages were below 0 prior to using Belly Drum. Belly Drum fails if the user's current HP is less than half its maximum.
