Skull Bash is based on a move with the same name in the | Skull Bash is based on a move with the same name in the {{uv|Pokémon}} games. It is a Normal-type attack introduced in Generation I. In the games, Skull Bash is a two-turn attack. On the first turn, the Pokémon using the move tucks its head in to prepare the attack and raise its Defense stat by one stage. On the second turn, the Pokémon launches forward to ram the foe with its head. The attack is very powerful, however, its two-turn nature makes it somewhat inefficient. The move's Defense-boosting capability was not introduced in the ''Pokémon'' games until Generation II, post-dating the move's first appearance in ''Smash''; as such, this effect is not represented in its ''Smash'' appearances. | ||
The move was available to Pikachu only by using {{s|bulbapedia|TM40}} in Generation I. It can, however, still have the move in Generation II games (the generation ''Melee'' was closest to), as they allow to trade Pokémon from Generation I games. As of Generation III, the move is unavailable on Pikachu in the ''Pokémon'' games. Pichu, on the other hand, has never been able to learn Skull Bash in the ''Pokémon'' games. | The move was available to Pikachu only by using {{s|bulbapedia|TM40}} in Generation I.
