What is the least damage a Pokemon can do?

Jul. 14, 2014



I think this is it:

A happiny with an attack lowering nature, 0 attack ivs, 0 attack EVs, soaked, -6 attack, max happiness using frustration against a mega aggron with +6 defense, full defense ivs, 252 defense EVs, and defense boosting nature.

Technically the lowest amount of damage possible is 0, if you use Hold Back or False Swipe on a Pokemon with 1 HP remaining.

If the target has 1 HP remaining, False Swipe will hit and leave the target at 1 HP. -Bulbapedia

There is also abug in Gen 1, and adifferent one in Gen 5, that allows you to deal 0 damage in particular circumstances. However, these are clearly development oversights.

Excluding all of the above, the lowest amount of damage is 1. The number of ways to achieve 1 damage is practically infinite, so no need to list them here.

#1HP.

The answer is obvious and there are probably alot of matchups to achieve 1HP damage.
