Avalanche

Avalanche is an Ice-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Avalanche is one of many moves that inflicts damage. If the user has been hurt in the same turn by the target, Avalanche's attack power will be doubled. In a Double Battle, Avalanche can target any Pokémon around the user. In a Triple Battle, Avalanche can only target a Pokémon that's adjacent to the user.
