Can an attack do 0 damage?

Other than false swipe, hold back, splash or celebration

This would really only be possible against a Shedinja with a Focus Sash, if you used a supereffective attack against it, for example Flamethrower. It would survive without taking damage whatsoever. That’s the only situation I can think of.

Hope I Helped!

I engineered the setup forhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhjwUJksXv8and gave it to the two battlers who showed it off there, which was carefully calibrated so thatallthe possible random variations in damage end up producing exact multiples of 65,536. It’s possible to do a similar setup in earlier games, such as the ones that existed back when this question was asked, but the numbers get more complicated (such asthis Showdown replay).

If you use a move likeFissureorSheer coldon a Pokemon with Sturdy, it wont do any damage, but will still waste a turn and PP.

Mimikyu with Disguise on the first turn that Mimikyu is present it will protect the first attack of the opponent and then it will be vulnerable.
