Generation I
Horn Drill inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. Horn Drill will break a Substitute on contact, and can be countered for infinite damage if and when it breaks a Substitute.
Horn Drill will not affect a target whose current Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.
Generation II and on
Unlike in Generation I, Horn Drill can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level.
Horn Drill can be countered for infinite damage if it misses in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. However, this does not apply to Pokémon Stadium 2 and later games.
