A move will sometimes get a '''critical hit''' against another Pokémon, some moves more than others. This will double the damage done after super effective/not very effective calculations occur, leading to the ability for a doubly-super effective move that gets a critical hit to do a whopping eight times as much damage as it would. | A move will sometimes get a '''critical hit''' against another Pokémon, some moves more than others.

When a move is 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 them makes a critical hit will get the benefit of the increased Attack, while one affected by {{m|Charm}} will use its normal Attack score. | When a move is a critical hit, damage is calculated based on either the modified or unmodified attack and defense stats, whichever is more advantageous to the attacker.
