Effect

Double Iron Bash inflicts damage, hitting the target twice per use, and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch with each hit.

Generation VII

If the target has used Minimize, Double Iron Bash deals double its regular damage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

Pokémon Sword and Shield

Double Iron Bash no longer has a special interaction with Minimize.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Double Iron Bash cannot be selected in a battle.
