:Good catch! However, please note that just linking to [[:Category:Moves that have variable power]] will not be enough to include all exceptions; some moves that are (currently) listed as {{cat|moves that power up}} do also not fit that pattern. Until someone finds a better formulation, I think the current formulation ("for moves with fixed base powers") may be quite sufficient.

::Why doesn't someone just create a move category called "Moves with abnormal Z-Power Calculation"?

:::I've found out that [[Multi-strike move#2-5 strikes per turn|moves of 2-5 strikes per turn]] use their 3-hit power for the calculation; [[Multi-strike move#2 strikes per turn|moves of 2 strikes]] and [[Multi-strike move#3 strikes per turn|moves of 3 strikes]] their 2- and 3-hit power (which includes {{m|Gear Grind}}); and most of [[:Category:Moves that have variable power]] their unmodified power (e.g. 150 for {{m|Eruption}} and 120 for {{m|Wring Out}}), or their median or the bigger of the two middle values in their set of values (e.g. 70 for {{m|Magnitude}} and 80 for {{m|Grass Knot}}). I think the prevalence of 80 in this way has made 160 a "standard" for "the exceptions," the Z-moves from moves such as {{m|Return}} and {{m|Power Trip}}. More rigorous analysis are welcome, though.--[[User:Earthoul|Earthoul]] ([[User talk:Earthoul|talk]]) 13:00, 1 August 2017 (UTC) | |||
