For moves with variable power, Technician will only apply if the power is 60 or less when used. Thus, {{m|Pursuit}} will not get a Technician boost if the opposing Pokémon switches and Pursuit's power doubles to 80, and {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Grass Knot}} will only get a Technician boost if the target's weight is {{tt|49.9 kg|110.0 lbs}} or less. Similarly, if a move like {{m|Avalanche}} is used by a Pokémon previously damaged in the same turn, which doubles Avalanche's power to 120, then Technician will not be applied.
