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====
====Generation VI onward====
Critical hits will now do 2.25× damage instead of 1.5× damage.
