How did I inflict different amounts of damage with the same attack?

Dec. 29, 2010



I am battling the Elite 4 and this happens all the time.

My Staraptor uses aerial ace and leaves the opponent withHP in the red then the opponent uses full restore and healsto %100 health then I use it again and it KOs the opponent’s pokemon.

How can this be???
