Skull Bash Effect

Fiercely rams an opposing Pokemon and leaves it unable to act.

How to Use Skull Bash

Get Berries from the Enemy's Side

Skull Bash - Steal Berries.gif

Use Skull Bash to steal the yellow berries in the enemy's side. For maximum effect, use Skull Bash to get one of the berries, then use Eject Button to quickly get the other. This denies the enemy from having an instant heal, which is useful when diving near their goal.

Use to Stay Ahead of the Target

Skull Bash - Stay Ahead.gif

Use Skull Bash to stay ahead of your target. You don't have to hit the target with Skull Bash, it's mainly to get in front of the target quickly, then letting your basic attacks do the damage.

If you have Water Gun available, you should use it after Skull Bash.

Skull Bash Patch History

1.7.1.7 Damage increased from 417 to 469 (+12%).
