Pound

Type	Power	Accuracy	PP	Priority	Damage	Target
Normal	40	100%	35	0	Physical	Single non-user

Description

Deals damage. No additional effect.

Competitive Use

Pound's poor 40 Base Power makes it an inferior option when other, more powerful Normal-type moves exist. A couple examples of some better Normal-type moves are Body Slam and Return.

Related Moves

Return is a more powerful option.

Double-Edge is a more powerful option that has recoil.

Pay Day is equivalent, but it differs with having the added in-game effect.

Scratch is equivalent.
