'''Damage''' is the | '''Damage modification''' is a system of multipliers used to change the damage dealt in a battle. These modifiers affect how the damage is calculated by multiplying the move's base power in various ways. These modifiers range from doubling to halving and even negating the damage done. | ||
==Super effective== | |||
When a move is '''super effective''', it does double the damage it would normally do. For example, a move like {{m|Megahorn}} used against a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon will be super effective because {{type2|Bug}} moves are super effective against Psychic-types. This effect can stack up; for example, a Pokémon that is {{t|Rock}}/{{t|Ground}} and is hit by a {{type2|Water}} move like {{m|Surf}} will be damaged four times as much by the move as it would normally be, because both Rock and Ground Pokémon are weak to Water moves. | |||
{{ | ==Not very effective== | ||
[[Category: Game mechanics]] | When a move is '''not very effective''', it does half of the damage it would do. This works exactly like super effective moves, and can stack up. For example, a {{t|Steel}}/{{t|Rock}} Pokémon will be damaged by a quarter of the amount by a {{type2|Normal}} move. Likewise, a {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}} Pokémon hit by a {{type2|Fighting}} move will be damaged normally, as the super-effectiveness of Fighting against Normal is canceled out by the not-very-effectiveness of Fighting against Flying. | ||
==Not effective== | |||
When a move is '''not effective''', it does not damage the Pokémon at all and that Pokémon is "immune" to that type. This immunity includes status moves of that type. For example, the {{type2|Electric}} move {{m|Thunderbolt}} will have no affect on a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon such as {{p|Garchomp}}. Likewise, using the move {{m|Thunder Wave}} will prove useless and yields a "It '''does''' not affect Garchomp" (whereas a {{m|Confuse Ray}} that simply missed yields "It '''did''' not affect Garchomp"). Certain types are immune to specific moves, such as {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon being immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}. | |||
==Critical hit== | |||
A move will sometimes get a '''critical hit''' against another Pokémon, some moves more than others. This will double the damage done after super effective/not very effective calculations occur, leading to the ability for a doubly-super effective move that gets a critical hit to do a whopping eight times as much damage as it would. | |||
Critical hits work through levels, which determine the chance for a critical hit: | |||

|} | |||
[[Scope Lens]] and [[Razor Claw]] add 1 level each, the [[Stick]] adds 2 levels (for {{p|Farfetch'd}} only), {{m|Focus Energy}} adds a level, {{a|Super Luck}} doubles the amount of levels and goes before the items are calculated in. 50% is the cap, no situation reaches above it. | |||
When a move is a critical hit, damage is calculated based on either the modified or unmodified attack and defense stats, whichever is more advantageous to the attacker. For example, an attacker who has used {{m|Swords Dance}} and then makes a critical hit will get the benefit of the increased Attack, while one affected by {{m|Charm}} will use its normal Attack score. Another example would be if a team had {{m|Light Screen}} or {{m|Reflect}} on it and the attacker scored a critical on the team with the certain wall; the defense added by the wall would then be ignored, and will do double normal damage. | |||
==Same-type attack bonus== | |||
{{main|Same-type attack bonus}} | |||
A move used by a Pokémon that is of the same type as the move itself will do 150% of its normal damage, such as a {{type2|Fire}} move used by a Fire-type Pokémon. Dual-typed Pokémon will receive this bonus for both of their types, and a Pokémon whose type can change in-battle will receive the bonus for whatever type they are when they make the move. | |||
==Weather== | |||
{{main|Weather conditions}} | |||
{{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Fire}} moves' damage will be modified by rain and sunshine. If {{m|Rain Dance}} causes a downpour, Water-type moves will do 50% more damage and Fire-type moves will do 50% less damage. If {{m|Sunny Day}} causes harsh sunlight, Fire-type moves will do 50% more damage and Water-type moves will do 50% less damage. | |||
==Abilities== | |||
{{main|Abilities}} | |||
Abilities come in a wide variety, and have various effects on damage modification. These affects range from increasing and decreasing the power of moves of a specific [[type]], granting immunities, and even changing the power of moves affected by other damage modifiers. These abilities include: | |||
*{{a|Blaze}}, {{a|Overgrow}}, {{a|Torrent}} and {{a|Swarm}} increase the power of {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves by 50% when the user's HP falls below 33%, respectively. | |||
*{{a|Thick Fat}} decreases the power of the opponents' Fire-type and Ice-type moves by 50%. {{a|Heatproof}} decreases the power of opponents' Fire-type moves by 50%. | |||
*{{a|Levitate}} provides immunity to {{type2|Ground}} moves, and {{a|Soundproof}} provides immunity to sound-based moves. | |||
*{{a|Volt Absorb}} and {{a|Water Absorb}} grant immunity to {{type2|Electric}} and {{type2|Water}} moves respectively, healing the user's HP by 25% instead. {{a|Dry Skin}} is similar to Water Absorb, but also doubles the power of opponents' Fire-type moves. | |||
*{{a|Flash Fire}} negates the effect of opponents' Fire-type moves and instead increases the power of the ability's user's own Fire-type attacks. Similarly, {{a|Motor Drive}} negates the effect of opponents' Electric-type moves and instead causes the ability's user's Speed to increase. These abilities include [[status move]]s like {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}. | |||
*{{a|Mold Breaker}} removes all immunities to the user's moves. | |||
*{{a|Scrappy}} removes {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon's immunity to the {{type2|Normal}} and {{type2|Fighting}} moves of the user. | |||
*{{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Sand Stream}} and {{a|Snow Warning}} all cause different weather conditions. | |||
*{{a|Adaptability}} doubles the power of moves of the same type as the user. | |||
*{{a|Hustle}} boosts the power of the user's moves by 50%. | |||
*{{a|Pure Power}} doubles the power of the user's [[Physical move|physical]] attacks. | |||
*{{a|Technician}} increases the power of the user's moves with base power 60 or less by 50%. | |||
*{{a|Super Luck}} increases the user's critical hit ratio. | |||
*{{a|Battle Armor}} and {{a|Shell Armor}} block critical hits. | |||
*{{a|Sniper}} increases the power of the user's critical hits. | |||
*{{a|Tinted Lens}} doubles the power of the user's moves that are not very effective. | |||
*{{a|Solid Rock}} and {{a|Filter}} each reduce the power of super effective moves on the ability's user by one third. | |||
*{{a|Wonder Guard}} reduces the power of the opponent's attacks that are not super effective to zero. | |||
