Steamroller is Bug-type move introduced in Generation V.

Description

Games	Description
BWB2W2 XYORAS	The user crushes its targets by rolling over them with its rolled-up body. This attack may make the target flinch.
SMUSUMPE	The user crushes its target by rolling over the target with its rolled-up body. This may also make the target flinch.
SwShBDSPLA SV	This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered.

Effect

Its effects are nearly identical to Stomp, except the user rolls into the opponent with its curled-up body. It may cause the foe to flinch, except when a Substitute is in play.

If Minimize was used before this move, it does double the damage. In later generations, it was also able to be a guaranteed hit if the target is not in the turn of moves like dig (which would allow them to dodge most hits).
