 '''Sniper''' (Japanese: '''スナイパー''' ''Sniper'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].
 ==Effect==
 ===In battle===
-====Generations IV and V====
+Sniper increases [[critical hit]] damage by 50%.
-[[Critical hit]]s will do 3× damage instead of 2× damage.
+====Generation IV====
+Critical hits will do 3× damage instead of 2× damage. Sniper cannot be activated by {{m|Beat Up}}.
+====Generation V====
+Sniper can now be activated by Beat Up. Additionally, rather than changing the critical hit multiplier directly, Sniper now multiplies by 1.5 the damage dealt by a move that deals a critical hit, applied last to [[damage]] as part of the "final" modifiers that get applied to the damage, resulting in virtually the same effect.
 ====Generation VI onward====
-Critical hits will now do 2.25× damage instead of 1.5× damage.
+Critical hits will now effectively do only 2.25× damage, as a result of the critical hit multiplier being lowered to 1.5×.
