Dart Shoot (move)

Dart Shoot (Japanese: しゅりけん, Shuriken) is a damage-dealing Steel-type move created by WD for Generation C.

Effect
Dart Shoot inflicts damage, hitting 2-5 times per use. There is a 12.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. This gives the attack an average power of 60. Each individual hit has an increased chance of being a critical hit.

If Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activate before the last hit is dealt, the following hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint; however, Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one. Each hit will cause Weak Armor to activate.

Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.

If the target is holding a Rocky Helmet the user will be damaged for each hit.
