Hyper Beam (Japanese: はかいこうせん Destruction Beam) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It is TM15 from Generation I to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and TM48 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. It is TM08 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
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.
Hyper Beam will not require a recharge turn if it misses, it breaks a substitute, it knocks out the target, the user is targeted by a binding move (even if it misses), the user flinches, or the user is put to sleep after the attack but before the recharge turn. However, freeze does not prevent the need for 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.
If one Pokémon attacks first with a binding move that misses in a round in which the other Pokémon must recharge from a use of Hyper Beam, the user of Hyper Beam will automatically use Hyper Beam again during that turn instead of recharging. 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.
An opponent can still use items on the user while it's recharging, in which case it will recharge the turn after.
In Pokémon Stadium, Hyper Beam requires a recharge turn every time it is used.
Generation II onwards
Hyper Beam will always need to recharge if it hits, even if the target is knocked out, unless the battle is completed in that turn. The binding move glitch has been fixed.
If the user has Truant, the recharge and "loafing around" take place on the same turn.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Hyper Beam is a move with 30 base power, 8 PP and 90% accuracy. The attack travels up to 10 tiles away and hits the first Pokémon it encounters, ally or enemy. If the move hits a Pokémon successfully, the user is inflicted with Paused status condition for 1-2 turns, preventing them from acting on these turns
In Explorers of Time and Darkness and Explorers of Sky, the move's accuracy has been decreased to 85.5%.
In Gates to Infinity, Hyper Beam can reach an enemy up to 10 tiles away. The user will recoil, making it unable to move on the next turn.
In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, Hyper Beam instead has 40 power (up to 50), 10 PP (up to 30), and 90 accuracy (up to 98). Small Pokémon can hit an opponent up to 4 tiles away. When it hits an opponent, or reaches its maximum range, a 3x3 explosion is created around the target, dealing damage to allies and enemies by an amount determined by the normal damage formula, and destroys walls and items caught in the blast. The user will then recoil, making it unable to move on the next turn. When used by a Gigantic Pokémon, the move can reach enemies up to 10 tiles away in front of the user, and will pierce through enemies and walls (without breaking them), affecting all enemies within the 10 tile range.
