Counter is a retaliatory Fighting -type move.
Effect [ ]
Counter has greatly decreased priority, but will deal double the damage the user has taken if it is hit by a Physical move before it acts. The move will fail if the user's substitute is hit instead.
Counter will only counter the last hit of a multi-strike move and the last attack of a partial trapping move . It cannot be called by Metronome or copied by Mirror Move , and does not factor in STAB and type effectiveness (Ghost -type Pokémon are still immune to it).
In a double battle, Counter will damage the foe that last struck the user with a physical attack.
