Beat Up inflicts [[damage]] on the target from each conscious Pokémon in the user's [[party]] that does not have a {{status|non-volatile status}}. Each strike is typeless and has a base power of 10; damage is determined using each attacking Pokémon's base {{stat|Attack}} and [[level]] and the target's base {{stat|Defense}}. [[Same-type attack bonus]] and random damage variation are not considered when calculating damage. Each strike is preceded with the message "''<name>'s Attack!''", where <name> is the name of the Pokémon in the player's party. | Beat Up inflicts [[damage]] on the target from each conscious Pokémon in the user's [[party]] that does not have a {{status|non-volatile status}}.

Each strike has an independent chance of being a critical hit, as well as activating a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}}. Beat Up will end instantly upon breaking a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} deal damage based on the last strike alone. If Beat Up activates a target's {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, no subsequent hits can knock it out. | Each strike has an independent chance of being a critical hit, as well as activating a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}}.

Instead of using each party member's {{stat|Attack}} stat, the user's Attack alone is used to calculate the damage of each strike. Furthermore, the base power per strike is no longer 10, but instead individually based on the Attack [[base stats]] of the party Pokémon: | Instead of using each party member's {{stat|Attack}} stat, the user's Attack alone is used to calculate the damage of each strike. Because of this, Beat Up is now affected by boosts like from {{m|Swords Dance}} and Attack-boosting items like {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Furthermore, the base power per strike is no longer 10, but instead individually based on the Attack [[base stats]] of the party Pokémon: | ||
Base power = (party member's base Attack) / 10 + 5 | Base power = (party member's base Attack) / 10 + 5 | ||
Thus, the damage dealt by each strike still depends on the other party members, but is now determined by base Attack instead of the Attack stat. Beat Up now receives [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{type|Dark}} users and no longer deals typeless damage | Thus, the damage dealt by each strike still depends on the other party members, but is now determined by base Attack instead of the Attack stat.

Beat Up no longer lists the user's name. Each strike will activate {{a|Justified}} and {{a|Weak Armor}}. If a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, or {{a|Sturdy}} activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent. Each strike has an independent chance of activating {{a|Stench}}, but this does not stack with the Razor Fang or King's Rock. | Beat Up no longer lists the user's name.
