damage question!!!!!

May. 24, 2012

when you attack an exact same pokemon with same nature, IV, EV,why does it do different damage?For example, when I was playing visualboy on PC, and I saved the gamein middle of the battle(shift+F number), then I attckedand did almost half of damage to the hpthen I loaded and attacked again, but this time, it damaged bit more than half of hp!it wasn’t critical hit, they were both normal hits.Why does this happen?

Damage is a slightly random calculation, while it depends on the offensive stats of the attacker and the defensive stats of the defender it can do slightly different damage. Example:

lvl 100vs. lvl 100

Suppose Victini has 260 S.Attack and Serperior 260 S.Defense and Victini used Searing shot. The damage would do a minimum of 219 and a maximum of 258 damage, the actual damage is random but will be between those two.
