== Average vs. Effective power ==


The use of "average" and "effective" power in move names is misleading, I'm going to swap them.  "Effective" should be the cumulative power if all hits of a move connect, with "average" taking the move's base accuracy into account (because this is the amount of damage you can expect to inflict "on average"). --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 13:50, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
The use of "average" and "effective" power for {{m|Triple Kick}} is misleading, I'm going to swap them.  "Effective" should be the cumulative power if all hits of a move connect, with "average" taking the move's base accuracy into account (as this is the amount of damage you can expect to inflict {{tt|on average|statistical mean; total damage dividied by # uses}} in a real battle). --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 13:50, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
