Foul Play inflicts damage. It uses the target's {{stat|Attack}} stat and Attack {{stat|stat modifiers}} conferred by moves, as opposed to the user's. However, it still uses the user's Attack stat modifiers conferred by [[Ability|Abilities]] and [[held item]]s (such as by {{a|Pure Power}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}), and has no special behaviour for any other factors of damage calculation, including [[type]]s and {{status|burn}}.
