In the ''Pokémon'' games, Pound is a physical Normal-type attack with no additional effects, similar to both Tackle and Scratch, introduced in Generation I. Like both, Pound is either naturally known or learned at a very low-level by many Pokémon. In Gen. I-IV, Pound and Scratch are slightly superior to Tackle though, since their base Power is 40 instead of 35 and have an Accuracy of 100 instead of 95; In Gen. V, Tackle was given 50 Power and 100 Accuracy, making it stronger than either.
In the ''Pokémon'' games, Pound is a physical Normal-type attack that is known at start or learned at a low-level by many Pokémon, similar to both Tackle and Scratch, introduced in Generation I.


Due to its very low base power and the existence of superior Normal-type attacks, Pound is completely ignored in competitive play, being an attack for low-level Pokémon to have while being raised, before being taught more powerful moves that can outclass the move. In all generations, Jigglypuff learns Pound as its second move (starting at Level 1), with the first one being [[Sing]].
Due to its very low base power and the existence of superior Normal-type attacks, Pound is going to eventually be replaced by more powerful moves that can outclass the move as a Pokémon grows. In all generations, Jigglypuff learns Pound as its second move (starting at Level 1), with the first one being [[Sing]].
