On Smogon's Movedex: Generation IV Generation V Generation VI Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Wring Out (Japanese: しぼりとる Wring Out) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Generation IV

Wring Out deals damage. Its power varies between 1 and 121, and is greater the more HP the target has:

${\displaystyle Power=1+120\times {\displaystyle \frac{CurrentH{P}_{target}}{MaxH{P}_{target}}}}$

Generation V to VII

Wring Out's power is now calculated as

${\displaystyle Power=120\times {\displaystyle \frac{CurrentH{P}_{target}}{MaxH{P}_{target}}}}$

However, its power cannot be less than 1. Consequently, its power now varies between 1 and 120.

Generation VIII onwards

Wring Out cannot be selected in a battle.
