Punishment (Japanese: おしおき Punishment) is a damage-dealing Dark-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect
Punishment deals variable damage depending on the stats of the foe. Its damage is calculated by the following formula:
Base Power = 60 + (20 × (No. of stat increases - No. of stat decreases)
For example, if the target has used Bulk Up twice and Swords Dance once, there is a four-stage increase for the Attack stat and a two-stage increase in the Defense stat, making a total of six, which causes Punishment have a base power of 180.
