Even if enough additions are obtained, there is no way for a move to be in a stage higher than 5; if the sum is greater, it will still only have a 50% chance of landing in a critical hit. The effects of {{m|Focus Energy}}, the [[Lansat Berry]], and the several versions of {{DL|Battle item|Dire Hit}} cannot stack with themselves or each other. Additionally, if the target Pokémon has the ability {{a|Battle Armor}} or {{a|Shell Armor}}, or is under the effect of {{m|Lucky Chant}}, a move will never be a critical hit, no matter the stage. On the other hand, if the move used is {{m|Storm Throw}} or {{m|Frost Breath}}, it will always result in a critical hit<!--except when the target has Battle/Shell Armor or Lucky Chant (TBD)-->.

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. 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}}.

A move used by a Pokémon that is of the same type as the move itself will do 150% of its normal damage, such as a {{type2|Fire}} move used by a Fire-type Pokémon. Dual-typed Pokémon will receive this bonus for both of their types, and a Pokémon whose type can change in-battle will receive the bonus for whatever type they are when they make the move.

Pokemon with {{a|Adaptability}} have this increased to 200% (an effective boost of ~33.3%).
