Effect

Generation IV

Wring Out deals damage. Its power varies between 1 and 121, and is greater the more HP the target has:

Power=1+120\times {\dfrac {CurrentHP_{target}}{MaxHP_{target}}}

Generations V to VII

Wring Out's power is now calculated as

Power=120\times {\dfrac {CurrentHP_{target}}{MaxHP_{target}}}

However, its power cannot be less than 1. Consequently, its power now varies between 1 and 120.

Generation VIII

Wring Out cannot be selected in a battle.
