OHKO stands for One-hit knockout, a gaming slang abbreviation.

Attack that defeats an opponent in a single hit, regardless of how much health it would normally need to deplete. Common in Pokémon battles and fighting games.

Example: That move can OHKO most of their team if it lands.

Usage notes

In Pokémon, specific moves such as Fissure and Sheer Cold are classified as OHKO moves and are banned in many competitive rule sets. Players also use OHKO loosely for any attack strong enough to finish an opponent in one blow.
