Article states that "This attack can achieve up to 412.5 Base Power if powered up with Lickilicky's STAB and a Silk Scarf." Silk Scarf only boosts by 20% in Generation IV, as I recall. Does Life Orb (30% boost) not affect the power of Explosion because of the inability to remove HP? --[[User:Zukiedo|<span style="color:#A000DF">Zukiedo</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Zukiedo|<span style="color:#00A0DF">Talk</span>]])''</small> 05:12, 24 February 2010 (UTC) | Article states that "This attack can achieve up to 412.5 Base Power if powered up with Lickilicky's STAB and a Silk Scarf."

:I think it does. If not, there's still Choice Band. --[[User:PLA|PLA]] 11:35, 16 May 2010 (UTC) | |||

If an ability like Pure Power were Skill Swapped onto a Lickilicky holding a Silk Scarf, surely it would do even more damage? And would this be worth adding to the section about the maximum possible damage?

:I don't think so, since that bit is more about move modifiers than ATK modifiers. Explosion would do even more damage with +6 ATK and -6 foe DEF, but that doesn't seem very noteworthy to me. Even in terms of most damage possible for any move (which would be more interesting), I think a calculation on Rollout still has the trophy anyway. --[[User:PLA|PLA]] 16:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC) | |||
::Actually, I think the prize goes to Water Spout under Rain used by a Water-type with Adaptability on a Ground/Rock Pokémon. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:46, 5 June 2010 (UTC) | |||

If Explosion was hacked onto a Shedinja, would it knock it out? [[User:Borg184|Borg184]] 04:36, 5 June 2010 (UTC) | |||

==Max Damage== | |||
I used Pokemon.marriland's calculator with a lv100 golem against a lv100 chansey: | |||
That attack will do between 2337 and 2749 damage!{{unsigned|Ashclaw}} | |||
:That's nowhere near the maximum damage this move can do. The maximum is 19476 damage. That's when it's used by a level 100 {{p|Lickilicky}} with an Attack IV of 31, 252 Attack EVs, a nature beneficial to Attack, holding a [[Silk Scarf]] uses Explosion on a level 1 {{p|Chansey}} with a Defense IV of 0 and a nature that lowers Defense hits for a critical hit the with the highest random number generated. However, we won't be mentioning it in the article. The maximum damage award goes to {{m|Rollout}}. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:50, 9 September 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Sturdy == | |||
With sturdy allowing the pokemon to survive a potential k-o, does this move fail, allow the user to survive or still faint the user if they have sturdy? [[User:Mattrules161|Mattrules161]] 14:10, 16 April 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Explosion sets the user's HP to 0, so Sturdy does not work. The user will faint as if it didn't have Sturdy. [[User:Dry Paratroopa|Dry Paratroopa]] 19:08, 28 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
==Strongest move?== | |||
I know that under optimal circumstances (abilities, natures, held items, weather, etc.), lots of moves are more powerful. But is it still worth mentioning it has the highest unmodified power of any move, or has that changed? --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] ([[User talk:KingStarscream|talk]]) 14:43, 17 May 2013 (UTC) | |||
