Metal Burst (move)

Metal Burst (Japanese: メタルバースト Metal Burst) is a damage-dealing move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect
Metal Burst returns 1.5 times the damage dealt by the foe's last attack. Unlike or, Metal Burst does not require specifically physical or special damage sources and Metal Burst does not have decreased priority; if the user acts before it is hit by an opponent's damaging move, Metal Burst will fail. The move also fails if the user's is hit instead. In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Metal Burst will hit the last opponent that dealt damage to the user, even if that opponent is not adjacent to the user; Metal Burst cannot affect allied Pokémon.

Metal Burst can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves, or  was used in the prior turn.
