Heat Crash's power (Pignite)?

Mar. 15, 2020

So if my base weight on a Pignite that is lv 31 is 60.8, and my target’s weight is 37.8. So, I’m wondering how to calculate the damage. Do I do 60.8 * 1.6? I just did the calculation and what I got was 97.28 power. Is this valid? I don’t know Pokemon’s base weight, so I dunno how much heat crash will do.

Heat Crash’s base power is relative to a range between your weight and your opponents weight. To put it simply, if your weight isat least twicethat of your opponent’s, the move’s base power will be40. If your weight isat least twice but no more than thricethat of your opponent, its power will be60. On the chart below, “r” represents your weight divided by your opponent’s weight.

To answer your question, Pignite weighs 122.4 lbs. and your opponent (whoever that might be) weighs 37.8 lbs. Since the move is STAB and has a base power of (122.4/37.8 = approx. 3.2;3 ≤ r < 4=80), you’ll be doing damage of120 power.
