Learn about the Struggle move in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It has 50 damage, 100% accuracy, and unlimited PP, but hurts the user.

Struggle is a unique move in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl that any Pokémon can learn when all of its other moves have exhausted their PP (Power Points). It is a Normal-type Physical attack with a base damage of 50 and an accuracy of 100%. Notably, Struggle has unlimited PP, meaning it can be used indefinitely once it becomes the only available option.

However, using Struggle comes at a significant cost: it inflicts recoil damage on the user, equivalent to 1/16th of their maximum HP, after each use.

Tips
  • Struggle is a last resort when you have no PP left for any other moves.
  • Be mindful of the recoil damage; it can quickly deplete your Pokémon's HP.
  • Consider switching out to a Pokémon with PP restoring items or moves if possible before resorting to Struggle.

Details:

  • Type: Normal
  • Damage: 50
  • Accuracy: 100%
  • PP: Unlimited
  • Category: Physical
  • Effect: Hurts the user by 1/16th of its HP.
