Pound is based off a move of the same name in the [[Pokemon (universe)|Pokémon RPGs]]. In the Pokémon games, Pound is a basic physical Normal-type attack with no additional effects, similar to both Tackle and Scratch. Like both, Pound is either naturally known or learned at a very low-level by many Pokémon. In Gen. I-IV, Pound and Scratch are slightly superior to Tackle though, since their base Power is 40 instead of 35 and have an Accuracy of 100 instead of 95; In Gen. V, Tackle was given 50 Power and 100 Accuracy, making it stronger than either. | Pound is based off a move of the same name in the [[Pokemon (universe)|Pokémon RPGs]].

Due to its very low base power and the existence of superior Normal-type attacks, Pound is completely ignored in competitive play, being an attack for low-level Pokémon to have while being raised, before being taught more powerful moves. | Due to its very low base power and the existence of superior Normal-type attacks, Pound is completely ignored in competitive play, being an attack for low-level Pokémon to have while being raised, before being taught more powerful moves that can outclass the move. | ||
