Punishment deals damage. Its [[power]] depends on the positive [[statistic|stat]] stages of the target, and is calculated by the following formula:
Punishment deals damage. It normally has a base power of 60, but gains 20 power for every increased stat stage the target has, up to a maximum of 200 base power in total (i.e. capping at 7 positive stat stages). Stats decreased below normal do not affect this move's power.
:[[File:Punishment formula.png]], with a maximum base power of 200.


For example, if the target has used {{m|Bulk Up}} twice and {{m|Swords Dance}} once, there is a four-stage increase for the {{stat|Attack}} stat and a two-stage increase in the {{stat|Defense}} stat, making a total of six, which causes Punishment to have a base power of 180.
For example, if the target has used {{m|Shell Smash}} once (which increases Attack, Special Attack, and Speed by two stages each; but decreases Defense and Special Defense by one stage each), it has a total of 6 increased stat stages, which causes Punishment to have a base power of 180. (The fact that Defense and Special Defense are lowered below normal has no effect on the base power.)
 
Stats decreased below normal do not affect the base power.
