DescriptionThis move deals damage. It has a 33.3% chance for the move to hit either 2 or 3 times, and a 16.6% chance to hit either 4 or 5 times. If a Focus Sash or the ability Sturdy is activated through one of the hits, another hit will KO the target. Each hit is treated as a separate attack, and thus abilities such as Weak Armor will activate for every hit taken, and every hit has a separate flinch rate if used with King's Rock or Stench, and a separate critical hit chance. Color Change will only activate on the last hit of the move. However, the items Life Orb and Metronome treat all the hits as a single attack. If this move breaks a Substitute, the attack can still continue and hurt the target. If the opponent holds a type-resistance Berry item, it will only affect the first hit of this move. Although a physical move, this move does not make contact with the opponent. Competitive UseWith a considerable power buff this generation, Bullet Seed may eventually see some competitive use. Though it is on average weaker than Seed Bomb, Power Whip, and Leaf Blade, the abilities Technician and Skill Link change this, making it the primary choice. However, the only user of this move with either of these abilities released is Cinccino, which has access to Technician along with several other multi-hit moves. Dream World Cinccino and Breloom, which have Skill Link and Technician, respectively, are unreleased, but Breloom would certainly be a major force with this move. Otherwise, this move has a niche use in hitting through Substitutes and Focus Sashes, but is not especially useful. Related MovesIcicle Spear is an Ice-type equivalent.
