How good really is Double Iron Bash?

Mar. 10, 2020

So it hits twice, but does each hit cause a 30% flinch chance?Does the flinching only occur if Melmetal (some of the worst speed in the game) outspends the opponent?Does that happen commonly or is double iron bash a bad move in general for Melmetal.

Double Iron Bash is a great move. The chances of you outspeeding are very low, so the flinching likely won’t happen. But here are some reasons on why it is great:

1. 60 base power for a double hitting move means 120 base power, which is very high power.2) STAB.3) It’s actually a punching move, meaning that it gets boosted futher when melmetal has the Iron Fist ability.

Edit: Trick Room is extremely viable for Melmetal with Double Iron Bash.
