From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Seismic Toss (Japanese: ちきゅうなげ Earth Throw) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM19 in Generation I and TM15 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

Effect

Generation I

Seismic Toss inflicts damage equal to the user's level.

Although Seismic Toss is a Fighting-type move, its type does not alter the amount of damage it inflicts. Seismic Toss is not affected by type immunities, so it can hit Ghost-type Pokémon.

Generation II onward

Seismic Toss is now affected by type immunities; therefore, it cannot usually affect Ghost-type Pokémon.

Seismic Toss can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining an extra two appeal points if Fake Out was used in the prior turn. It can also form part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves Entrainment, Hold Hands, or Play Nice was used in the prior turn.

Trivia

In the anime, while using Seismic Toss, Pokémon using the move are commonly depicted circling the globe, and, in the Generation II, Pokémon Battle Revolution, Generation VI, VII, and VIII games, a globe is shown as part of the animation. This is due to the Japanese name of the move being Earth Throw .
