DescriptionDeals damage and has a 100% chance to confuse the target. It is a punch-based attack, so its power is boosted by Iron Fist. Competitive UseAn interesting move, DynamicPunch. It guarantees that the opponent will be confused so long as it hits, which is not as reliable as would be comfortable, considering the move's 50% accuracy in normal conditions. Thus, the only real users are the ones on Machamp's line since they have the No Guard ability, which ignores the accuracy and evasion of all moves and Pokemon, meaning that their attacks always hit. Thus, not only is the opponent facing down guaranteed confusion on the switch, but is also smacked with a 100 Base Power STAB move off of 130 base Attack. While the Gravity move is in play DynamicPunch gains a decent 83% accuracy, and so can be used more effectively. The problem now is that there are literally no Pokemon who can use it well, and Gravity is such an obscure, hard-to-use field effect that you will probably never see it in most competitive matches. Related MovesBrick Break is a less powerful option that can remove Reflect and Light Screen. Drain Punch is a less powerful option that heals the user. Hammer Arm is an option with the same power but higher accuracy that lowers the user's Speed after use. Close Combat is an option with higher power and accuracy, but which lowers the user's Defense and Special Defense after use. Superpower is an option with higher power and accuracy, but which lowers the user's Attack and Defense after use. Hi Jump Kick is a much more powerful and accurate option which carries the risk of severe recoil damage should it fail to hit the target. Zap Cannon is an Electric-type equivalent, but inflicts paralysis and has a 120 Base Power. Inferno is a Fire-type equivalent, but inflicts burn instead. |
