Counters all physical moves for twice the damage done to the user. Only counters the last hit of a multi-hit move and the last attack of a partial trapping move. If the user is hit by a physical attack that deals 0 damage, Counter becomes a physical move with 1 base power. Does not affect Ghost-type foes and will always fail if called by Metronome. Cannot counter a move that hits a substitute. In Double and Triple Battles, it hits the last opponent that dealt physical damage to the user. Can hit non-adjacent foes in Triple Battles (if the foe was the last to attack the user).
