When a move scores a critical hit, damage is calculated based on either the modified or unmodified attack and defense stats, whichever is more advantageous to the attacker. For example, an attacker who has used {{m|Swords Dance}} and then makes a critical hit will get the benefit of the increased Attack, while one affected by {{m|Charm}} will use its normal Attack score. Likewise, if the attacker uses {{m|Screech}} on the foe and then makes a critical hit, it will still get the benefit of the decreased Defense like normal then count the critical hit into damage calculation. Another example would be if a team had {{m|Light Screen}} or {{m|Reflect}} on it and the attacker scored a critical on the team with the certain wall; the defense added by the wall would then be ignored, and the attacker would do double damage. However, it does not ignore modifiers caused by items or Abilities such as {{DL|In-battle effect item|Eviolite}}, {{a|Defeatist}}, or {{a|Slow Start}}, nor does it ignore the attack reduction caused by a {{status|burn}}. | When a move scores a critical hit, damage is calculated based on either the modified or unmodified attack and defense stats, whichever is more advantageous to the attacker.

=== Ben's Critical Hit === | |||
Ben's Critical Hit, or Ben's Crit for short, is a completely unnecessary critical hit that defeats an enemy whose HP had already been lowered to a point where a normal hit would have been enough to defeat it. VentusUmbra, a German let's player, invented this term after having seen countless such critical hits because it was starting to annoy him. It was named after his inventor, Ben. | |||
