Fury Attack (move)

Fury Attack (Japanese: みだれづき Disturbed Stab) is a damage-dealing multi-strike move introduced in Generation I.

It appears to be a counterpart to, as the type, effect, and names are the same or very similar.

Generation I
Fury Attack inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit 3 times on average, giving it an average power of 45. Although only the first strike can be a critical hit, each successive one will deal the same amount of damage.

Fury Attack will end immediately if it breaks a. and will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

Generation II
All strikes now do damage independently, enabling any of them to be critical hits.

If the user is holding a King's Rock, the final strike has a chance to cause the opponent to.

Generations III and IV
If the target has an Ability that activates upon contact, each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

Fury Attack may now continue attacking after breaking a substitute.

Fury Attack can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra two appeal points if either the move or  was used in the prior turn.

Pokémon with the Ability will always hit five times when using Fury Attack unless it misses.

If the user is holding a King's Rock or Razor Fang, each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to.

Generation V
There is now a ~33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a ~33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a ~16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a ~16.7% chance it will hit 5 times. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit ~3.167 times on average, giving it an average power of 47.5.

If a Focus Sash, Focus Band, or activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.

If the target has, each strike will activate it.

If the target is holding a Rocky Helmet, the user is damaged for each strike.
