Learn about the Giga Impact move in Pokémon Platinum: its Normal type, 150 damage, 90% accuracy, 5 PP, and contest bonus.

Giga Impact is a Normal-type move with a high base power of 150 and 90% accuracy. It has 5 PP (Power Points). As a Physical category move, it deals damage based on the user's Attack stat.

A significant drawback of Giga Impact is that the user cannot attack during the turn immediately following its use.

In Pokémon Platinum contests, Giga Impact is a Beauty-type move worth 2 points. If the previous Pokémon in the contest received maximum voltage (a bonus condition), you can gain an extra 3 points for using Giga Impact.

Tips
  • Consider the turn after using Giga Impact; ensure it's safe to skip your next turn.
  • Giga Impact is most effective when you can afford to lose a turn, such as when the opponent is already weakened or asleep.
  • The contest bonus for Giga Impact can be very beneficial for increasing your score in Beauty Contests.
