Effect

In battle

Eruption inflicts damage. Its power is calculated using the formula below:

$\text{Power} = \dfrac{\text{Current HP}\times150}{\text{Max HP}}$

In other words, its power decreases if the user's current HP decreases. However, the power cannot be lower than 1.

In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, Eruption is one of the moves that destroy a yellow rock in the background of a battle when it is present.

Contests

The appeal works better the later it is performed.

Super Contests

Earn +2 if the Pokémon performs last in the turn.
