From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Steamroller (Japanese: ハードローラー Hard Roller) is a damage-dealing Bug-type move introduced in Generation V.

Effect

Generation V

Steamroller inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch. Steamroller cannot make a target with a substitute flinch.

If the target has used Minimize, Steamroller deals double its regular damage.

Generations VI and VII

If the target has used Minimize, Steamroller now bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

Generation VIII onwards

Steamroller cannot be selected in a battle.
