Competitive Analysis

Head Smash is one of the prime examples of moves that are incredibly strong but has serious drawbacks. Head Smash's recoil damage is 1/2 of the damage dealt.

Luckily though, Aggron's Ability Rock Head protects it from recoil damage, and it can freely use this move while only worrying about its low accuracy.

Alternatively, you can use Head Smash for a 150 base power Max Rockfall for other Pokemon than do not have Rock Head's protection.

Head Smash Locations

Head Smash is only available by Default, Level Up, and via Egg Move.
