Piercing Drill

When the Pokémon uses contact moves, it can hit even targets that are protecting themselves.

How it works

When the Pokémon uses contact moves, it can hit even targets that are protecting themselves, dealing 1/4 of the damage that the move would otherwise deal. Everything aside from the target's protective effects is still triggered.

Effects can vary between games. This is the synced main-series reference; check the rules of the game you are playing.
