Counter (move)

Counter (Japanese: カウンター Counter) is a damage-dealing Dream-type attack.

Effect
If hit by a Physical Attack on the turn this move is used, then Counter inflicts double the amount of damage the user took, regardless of type or defenses. Counter fails if the user was hit by a Special Attack or Status Attack on the same turn, if the user is behind a substitute, if the last Puppet to cause them damage was their ally, or if the user faints.

Due to how it is programmed, Counter can not receive STAB damage nor the boost from getting a Critical Hit, despite it being able to land as a Critical Hit.

Counter can also be used as part of a Puppet Contest combination, with the user gaining extra two appeal points if the attack Taunt was used in the prior turn.
