Twineedle is a Bug type damage-dealing move.

Functionality

Twineedle is a multi-strike move, hitting the target twice per use. It also has a 20% chance of poisoning the target.

Each attack are considered different attacks. Hitting a Pokémon with an ability such as Weak Armor for example, will trigger the ability twice. The ability Sturdy and the Focus Sash item can activate on the first hit, but the second hit will finish the opposing Pokémon.

Bugs

• Critical hits are calculated only once for both hits. This behavior differs from the original games, where each hit has their own chance of doing a critical hit. (Report thread)
• The Poison proc only triggers once for the whole attack instead of once per attack, resulting in a 20% chance instead of 36%. (Report thread)
