Effect[]

In battle[]

Eruption inflicts damage. Its power is calculated using the formula below:

In other words, its power decreases if the user's current HP decreases. However, the power cannot be lower than 1.

In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, Eruption is one of the moves that destroy a yellow rock in the background of a battle when it is present.

Contests[]

The appeal works better the later it is performed.

Super Contests[]

Earn +2 if the Pokémon performs last in the turn.
