Submission does damage, and the user receives recoil damage equal to 25% of the damage done to the target.
If the user of Submission attacks first and faints due to recoil damage, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round. However, the user will still be subject to recurrent damage. Self-inflicted recoil damage from Submission from the previous turn can be countered if the target does not make a move on the following turn. If Submission breaks a Substitute, the user will take no recoil damage.
In Stadium, no recoil damage is taken if Submission knocks out a target.
