How it works in Champions
Deals damage to the last opposing Pokémon to hit the user with a special attack this turn equal to twice the HP lost by the user from that attack. If the user did not lose HP from the attack, this move deals 1 HP of damage instead. If that opposing Pokémon's position is no longer in use and there is another opposing Pokémon on the field, the damage is done to it instead. Only the last hit of a multi-hit attack is counted. Fails if the user was not hit by an opposing Pokémon's special attack this turn.
“A retaliatory attack that counters any special move, inflicting double the damage taken.”
