Arm Thrust is a Fighting move introduced in Generation III.

In-Game Description

The user lets loose a flurry of open-palmed arm thrusts that hit two to five times in a row.

Effect

Arm Thrust inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a ~33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a ~33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a ~16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a ~16.7% chance it will hit 5 times. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit ~3.167 times on average.

If a Focus Band or Sturdy activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one. If the target has Weak Armor, each strike will activate it.

If the user is rallied, Arm Thrust is guaranteed to hit 5 times.
