Reversal (Japanese: きしかいせい Reversal) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TR21 in Generation VIII, and is TM134 in Generation IX.

Effect

Reversal inflicts damage and has no additional effect. Its power is based on the user's current HP as a percentage of its maximum HP, which is higher the lower the user's HP is.
