The user jumps high into the air on the first turn, then on the second turn, drops down onto the target, dealing damage and having a 30% chance to paralyze the target. In a Double Battle, Bounce can target any Pokémon around the user. In a Triple Battle, Bounce can only target a Pokémon that's adjacent to the user.
