Not a TM, HM or Move Tutor move.

Bounce is a damage-dealing Flying-type move.

Effect[]

The user bounces up high on the first turn, avoiding most moves. On the second turn, the user slams down onto the target, inflicting damage with a 30% chance of paralyzing it.

Gust, Twister, Thunder, Sky Uppercut, and Hurricane have normal accuracy against a mid-air Pokémon, gaining doubled power. The user may also be hit in mid-air if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader, or if it is attacked by a Pokémon with No Guard or has No Guard itself.

Wild Pokémon cannot be caught during the semi-invulnerable stage of Bounce.

If a Power Herb is held by the user, Bounce can be executed in one turn.

Description[]

Description
The user bounces up high, then drops on the target on the second turn. It may also leave the target with paralysis.
