Twineedle
BugPhysical
Twineedle deals damage and will strike twice (with 25 base power each time). It has a 20% chance of poisoning the target. Poison or Steel type Pokémon, those with the ability Immunity or those behind a Substitute cannot be poisoned. Each strike of Twineedle is treated like a separate attack: The move Counter only counters the final hit, but Bide counters the complete damage.
