Arm Thrust
FightingPhysical
Arm Thrust hits 2-5 times per turn used. The probability of each interval is shown in the table, with the total power after each hit. Each strike of Arm Thrust is treated like a separate attack: The move Counter only counters the final hit, but Bide counters the complete damage. The Skill Link ability will cause Arm Thrust to always hit the maximum number of times.
