How it works in Champions
Has a 30% chance to confuse the target. If this attack is not successful, the user loses half of its maximum HP, rounded down, as crash damage. Pokémon with the Magic Guard Ability are unaffected by crash damage.
“The user attacks by kicking up into the air and slamming its heel down upon the target. This may also confuse the target. If it misses, the user takes damage instead.”
