Contents |
Effect
Gyro Ball inflicts more damage the slower the user is compared to the target. Therefore the larger the difference between the user's and target's Speed stat, the greater that damage. The damage is calculated by the following formula:
Base Power = 25 × (Target's Current Speed / User's Current Speed)
The maximum base power that can be reached with Gyro Ball is 150.
