 {{Incomplete|section}}
 {{m|Beat Up}} uniquely hits a number of times equal to the number of Pokémon in the user's party, excluding those who are fainted or who have a {{status|non-volatile status}}. Its base power and damage mechanics have varied between generations.
+In [[Generation II]], each strike of Beat Up deals typeless damage with a base power of 10, but uses each individual team member's {{stat|Attack}} stat and [[level]] to calculate damage; as a result, its damage is unaffected by any changes to the user's Attack stat (such as {{m|Swords Dance}}). Because it deals typeless damage, Beat Up receives no benefit from [[Same-type attack bonus]] and ignores {{a|Wonder Guard}}.
+Starting in [[Generation V]], Beat Up deals {{type|Dark}} damage, benefits from STAB, and interacts normally with Wonder Guard. Instead of using each party member's Attack stat to calculate damage, Beat Up only considers the user's Attack, meaning any change to the user's Attack through moves like Swords Dance now applies normally. Instead, party members' [[Base stats|base Attack stats]] are used to calculate their strikes' base power, with the new formula:
+:Base power = (party member's base Attack) / 10 + 5
+For example, a {{p|Weavile}} using Beat Up with active team members {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Conkeldurr}} would make three strikes with base powers of 17, 6, and 19, respectively.
