Needs an update to Generation IX

Arm Thrust (Japanese: つっぱり, HepburnThrust) is a Fighting-type move introduced in Generation III. It was the signature move of Makuhita and Hariyama until Generation V.

Effect[]

The user looses a flurry of open-palmed arm thrusts that hit two to five times in a row during a turn. Initially, in the Generation III and Generation IV games, there is a 37.5 percent chance of two or three hits each and a 12.5 percent chance of four or five hits each. Since Generation V, the percentages are more rounded, with a 35 percent chance of either two or three hits each or a 15 percent chance of either four or five hits each.
