DescriptionDeals damage. If the attack misses, the target uses Protect, or the target is a Ghost-type, then the user takes recoil damage equal to 50% of its max HP. This move cannot be used while Gravity is active. Competitive UseJump Kick is a decent move, and in this generation transition it was boosted to 100 Base Power, becoming a valid option. However, it has poor distribution and is more or less redundant considering notable would-be users like Mienshao and Hitmonlee also have access to the much more powerful Hi Jump Kick. Thus, the only real user would be Sawsbuck, who can use it as a coverage option to deal with Pokemon that resist his STAB moves. Related MovesHi Jump Kick is a more powerful option, with 130 Base Power, 90% accuracy and the same amount of recoil if it misses.
