Effect
In battle
Counter allows the user to retaliate with double the damage it had taken from a physical move. If more than one Pokémon hits the user with a physical move in a turn, Counter will target the last Pokémon to strike. Counter affects all types normally.
In the Mystery Dungeon Series, Counter grants the user the counter status condition. Pokémon with condition will return damage received from physicals attacks as long as the condition stays active. If a the Pokémon with this status is defeat, the damage that defeated it is not returned to the attacker.
