Effect
Origin Pulse deals damage to all adjacent opponents. Its power is boosted by 50% when used by a Pokémon with the Ability Mega Launcher.
Generation VIII
In Versions 1.0 to 1.2.1 of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Origin Pulse could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.3.0, it is usable and functions the same as it did in previous generations.
Other effects
Origin Pulse does not exist in the game data of Pokémon X and Y. As a result, a Pokémon knowing Origin Pulse cannot be traded from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to Pokémon X and Y, and if a Pokémon in Pokémon Bank knows the move it cannot be withdrawn in Pokémon X and Y. In order to be transferred to Pokémon X and Y, the Pokémon must forget Origin Pulse.
