When a move lands a critical hit, the user's level will be doubled during damage calculation, which approximately (but not quite) doubles the damage dealt. | When a move lands a critical hit, the user's level will be doubled during damage calculation, which approximately (but not quite) doubles the damage dealt. A rough formula for the damage multiplier is <code>(2L+5)/(L+5)</code> where L is the user's level; as a result, lower-leveled Pokémon have a smaller critical hit boost than higher-leveled Pokémon. For example, a level 5 Pokémon will inflict about 1.5× damage on a critical hit, while a level 20 Pokémon will inflict 1.8× and a level 95 Pokémon will inflict 1.95×. | ||
Critical hits ignore the halved Attack from {{status|burn}} and all stat modifiers. This includes beneficial stat modifiers as well, making it possible for a critical hit to sometimes deal less damage than a non-critical hit, if the user has at least doubled their Attack/Sp. Attack or the target has at least halved their Defense/Sp. Defense. | Critical hits ignore the halved Attack from {{status|burn}} and all stat modifiers.
