Seismic Toss (move) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokmon encyclopedia

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Seismic Toss (Japanese: ちきゅうなげ Earth Throw) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM19 in Generation I and TM15 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

Effect

Seismic Toss inflicts damage equal to the user's level.

Generation I

Although Seismic Toss is a Fighting-type move, its type does not alter the amount of damage it inflicts. Seismic Toss is not affected by type immunities, so it can hit Ghost-type Pokémon.

Generation II onwards

Seismic Toss is now affected by type immunities; therefore, it cannot usually affect Ghost-type Pokémon.

Seismic Toss can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Fake Out was used in the previous turn. It can also form part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves Entrainment, Hold Hands, or Play Nice was used in the prior turn.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

In the Rescue Team and Explorers games, Seismic Toss deals damage equal to the user's level.

From Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, the move is now a status move and does not deal damage. It will instead throw its target (teammate or enemy) at another Pokémon or trap. In dungeons, enemy Pokémon can use Seismic Toss on other enemies to throw them at the player.

Trivia

The globe in Battle Revolution's animation.

• In the anime, while using Seismic Toss, Pokémon using the move are commonly depicted circling the globe, and, in the Generation II, Pokémon Battle Revolution, Generation VI, VII, VIII, and IX games, a globe is shown as part of the animation. This is due to the Japanese name of the move being Earth Throw.
• In the first few seasons of the Dutch dub, Seismic Toss was called aardbeving, which is actually Dutch for Earthquake.
