Effect

Pin Missile hits the target 2-5 times. It has a 35% chance to hit 2 times, 35% chance to hit 3 times, 15% chance to hit 4 times, and 15% chance to hit 5 times. Each hit has an equal chance to be a critical hit and to cause the opponent to flinch if the user is holding a Razor Fang or King's Rock. If a Pokémon's Focus Sash activates from a strike, the Pokémon will faint if Pin Missile hits again. If a Pokémon with Skill Link uses Pin Missile, it will always hit 5 times if it doesn't miss. Pin Missile will hit at least 4 times if the user is holding a Loaded Dice. Weak Armor and Stamina will activate for every time Pin Missile hits.
