What it does

This move's power is 20 if the target weighs less than 10 kg, 40 if less than 25 kg, 60 if less than 50 kg, 80 if less than 100 kg, 100 if less than 200 kg, and 120 if greater than or equal to 200 kg.

Who carrys it

12 of the 282 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder carry Low Kick. The one that matters most is Kingambit, which is on 36.8% of teams and carrys it on 39.3% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.

What it hits

As a Fighting move it is super effective against Dark, Ice, Normal, Rock and Steel, resisted by Bug, Fairy, Flying, Poison and Psychic, and does nothing at all to Ghost. 12 other Fighting moves appear in this format: Close Combat, Detect, Aura Sphere, Quick Guard, Focus Blast, Bulk Up and others.

Who could and does not

61 Pokémon legal in this regulation can learn Low Kick at all, against the 12 that actually bring it. The gap is the interesting number: it is the set of Pokémon that have the option and decline it. The most-played of those are Incineroar, Sneasler, Farigiraf, Grimmsnarl, Gholdengo and Maushold — each of them measured on the ladder, each of them leaving this move on the shelf.

How concentrated it is

Across the ladder, Low Kick accounts for an expected 0.21 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 24th most-brought of the 126 moves this format runs. 68% of that comes from Kingambit alone, so it is really one Pokémon’s move rather than the format’s. Its carriers are mostly Dark (6), Normal (2) and Grass (2).

Where these numbers come from

Usage is Smogon's published statistics for the Regulation M-B VGC ladder, and the description is the one shipped in the Pokémon Showdown data set. Both are regenerated on every build rather than written by hand, so this page follows the format instead of trailing it. Take any of it to the team builder or the damage calculator.
