Gyro Ball inflicts more damage the slower the user is compared to the target. Therefore, the larger the relative difference between the user's and target's {{stat|Speed}} stat, the greater the damage. The base power is calculated by the following formula: | Gyro Ball inflicts more damage the slower the user is compared to the target. Therefore, the larger the relative difference between the user's and target's {{stat|Speed}} stat, the greater the damage. The base power is calculated by the following formula: | ||
:Base Power = | :Base Power = min(150, (25 × Target's Current Speed / User's Current Speed) + 1) | ||
The maximum base power that can be reached with Gyro Ball is 150. | The maximum base power that can be reached with Gyro Ball is 150, if the opponent is at least six times as fast as the user. The speed stats used in the formula do take all modifiers into account, including {{status|paralysis}}, held items such as the [[Iron Ball]], and abilities such as {{a|Slush Rush}} (but not the effect of {{m|Trick Room}}). | ||
Gyro Ball | ===In different generations=== | ||
====Generation IV-V==== | |||
If the user of Gyro Ball has a Speed stat that rounds down to 0, the stat will be treated as 1 in the power formula, to avoid having to divide by 0. | |||
====Generation VI==== | |||
If the user of Gyro Ball has a Speed stat that rounds down to 0, now the entire move's power is set to 1, regardless of what the opponent's speed is. | |||
Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}} are immune to Gyro Ball. | |||
