• 120 base power, if target's weight is less than or equal to ⅕ (20%) of user's weight.
• 100 base power, if target's weight is greater than ⅕ (20%) of user's weight and less than or equal to ¼ (25%) of user's weight.
• 80 base power, if target's weight is greater than ¼ (25%) of user's weight and less than or equal to ⅓ (33.3%) of user's weight.
• 60 base power, if target's weight is greater than ⅓ (33.3%) of user's weight and less than or equal to ½ of user's weight (50%).
• 40 base power, if target's weight is greater than ½ (50%) of user's weight.
