Eruption (move) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokmon encyclopedia

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Eruption (Japanese: ふんか Eruption) is a damage-dealing Fire-type move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Eruption deals damage. It has 150 base power at maximum HP, but its base power decreases proportionally to the user's remaining HP.

Specifically, its base power is equal to ⌊ 150 × H P c u r r e n t H P m a x ⌋ {\displaystyle {\bigg \lfloor }{\frac {150\times HP_{current}}{HP_{max}}}{\bigg \rfloor }} . However, if this formula produces a value less than 1, the move's base power becomes 1 instead.

In a battle with multiple opponents, Eruption targets all adjacent opponents. Eruption will also destroy round rocks found in the background of battles.

Eruption can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if Earthquake, Endure, or Sunny Day was used in the previous turn.

Eruption deals damage, with its power reduced the lower the user's HP. In the Rescue Team and Explorers series, the final damage is multiplied by ½ when at 75-51% HP, 51/256 (~0.2×) when at 50-26% and 25/256 (~0.1×) when at 25% or lower. In Super Mystery Dungeon, the power reduces proportionally to the user's HP. When used by a Gigantic Pokémon in Super Mystery Dungeon, Eruption hits all enemies in the room.
