Selfdestruct does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is listed as 130, the opponent's defense will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 260. The game will bump 0 up to 1 to avoid infinite damage, so Selfdestruct will then effectively have a power of 130 if used against an opponent with a defense value of 1. | Selfdestruct does damage, and causes the user to faint.
