Am I calculating this right?

Oct. 9, 2014



I was calculating the power of Brave Bird on Talonflame and Aqua Jet on Azumarill. I wanted to make sure I was doing it right.

BB starts at 120 power, then STAB’s to 180.Then my Talonflame has a Focus Sash and Swords Dance so that would put its power at 360 with +1 priority (Gale Wings).

Azumarill first uses Belly Drum to push its base power to 160.Then factoring in STAB, it goes up to 240Then it has Huger Power, so it would become Base 480 with +1 Priority.

Is this all right? Because both these base powers are ridiculously high. Thanks!

Ok let’s start with the math!

Brave Bird - 120 power x 1,5 (STAB) = 180 BPNow with the Swords Dance: 180 x 2 (Swords Dance) = 360 BPRemember when you use Brave Bird, you lose HP!

Belly Drum = x4 AttackAqua Jet = 40 BP x 1,5 (STAB) = 60 x 2 (Huge Power) = 120 x 4 (Belly Drum) = 480 BP + Priority Move.

Conclusion:

Yes your calculations are correct!Hope this helps.
