Terrain Pulse is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation VIII.

Description[]

Effects[]

Terrain Pulse deals damage. Much like Weather Ball, Terrain Pulse is normally a Normal move that deals damage. However, when paired with a field addition such as weather or terrian, its power is doubled and does the same-type damage as the terrain's type.

• When there is no active terrain, the move is Normal type.
• When Electric Terrain is active, the move becomes Electric type.
• When Grassy Terrain is active, the move becomes Grass type.
• When Misty Terrain is active, the move becomes Fairy type.
• When Psychic Terrain is active, the move becomes Psychic type.

It is considered a Pulse move, so when a Pokémon with Mega Launcher uses it, it is boosted in power by 50%.

As a Normal-type move, it will become Max Strike when Dynamax is used. This is done in a similar fashion as Silvally's Multi-Attack, but will change type to correspond with the Terrain.

Trivia[]

• Currently, Silvally is the only Pokémon that can get STAB from all 5 types of this move.
  • Both forms of Exeggutor and Venusaur get STAB from the Grass-type form.
  • Lickitung, Kangaskhan, Snorlax, Dunsparce, Lickilicky, Regigigas and Type: Null can only get STAB from the Normal-type variant.
  • Oranguru and Indeedee can only get STAB from the Normal- or Psychic-type forms of the move.
  • Mew can only get STAB from the Psychic-type form of the move.
  • Carbink, Xerneas and Diancie can only get STAB from the Fairy-type form of the move.
  • Therefore, only Silvally can get the Electric-type STAB once it is holding the Electric Memory.
