Beat Up (move)

Beat Up (Japanese: ふくろだたき Gang Up) is a damage-dealing multi-strike move introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation IV, it was the signature move of.

Generation II
Beat Up inflicts damage on the target from each conscious Pokémon in the user's party that does not have a. Each strike is typeless and has a base power of 10; damage is determined using each attacking Pokémon's base and level and the target's base. Beat Up ignores changes to stat levels such as. Same-type attack bonus is not considered when calculating damage. Each strike is preceded with the message " 's Attack!", where is the name of the Pokémon in the player's party.

Each strike has an independent chance of being a critical hit, as well as activating a King's Rock. Beat Up will end instantly upon breaking a. and deal damage based on the last strike alone. If Beat Up activates a target's Focus Band, no subsequent hits can knock it out.

Generations III and IV

If Beat Up activates a target's Focus Sash, no subsequent hits can knock it out. Beat Up ignores, as it is considered a typeless attack. The Ability does not affect critical hits. Each strike has an independent chance of activating a Razor Fang.

Generation V onward
Instead of using each party member's stat, the user's Attack alone is used to calculate the damage of each strike. Because of this, Beat Up is now affected by boosts like from and Attack-boosting items like Choice Band. Furthermore, the base power per strike is no longer 10, but instead individually based on the Attack base stats of the party Pokémon:


 * Base power = (party member's base Attack) / 10 + 5

Beat Up now receives from  users and no longer deals typeless damage.

Beat Up no longer lists the user's name. Each strike will activate and. 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. Each strike has an independent chance of activating, but this does not stack with the Razor Fang or King's Rock.
