Description

Games	Description

SV	The user utilizes the energy of the terrain to attack. This move’s type and power change depending on the terrain at the time the move is used.

Effects

Terrain Pulse deals damage. Much like Weather Ball, Terrain Pulse is normally a Normal move that deals damage. However, when paired with a field addition such as weather or terrian, its power is doubled and does the same-type damage as the terrain's type.

• When there is no active terrain, the move is Normal type.
• When Electric Terrain is active, the move becomes Electric type.
• When Grassy Terrain is active, the move becomes Grass type.
• When Misty Terrain is active, the move becomes Fairy type.
• When Psychic Terrain is active, the move becomes Psychic type.

It is considered a Pulse move, so when a Pokémon with Mega Launcher uses it, it is boosted in power by 50%.

As a Normal-type move, it will become Max Strike when Dynamax is used. This is done in a similar fashion as Silvally's Multi-Attack, but will change type to correspond with the Terrain.

Trivia

  • Lickitung, Kangaskhan, Snorlax, Dunsparce, Lickilicky, Regigigas and Type: Null can only get STAB from the Normal-type variant.
  • Oranguru and Indeedee can only get STAB from the Normal- or Psychic-type forms of the move.
  • Mew can only get STAB from the Psychic-type form of the move.
  • Carbink, Xerneas and Diancie can only get STAB from the Fairy-type form of the move.
  • Therefore, only Silvally can get the Electric-type STAB once it is holding the Electric Memory.
