This information differs from other stuff on the internet.
Legendary Pokedex: "The power of moves that have recoil damage is doubled, but so is the recoil." Smogon: "Whenever this Pokémon uses a move with recoil, including Hi Jump Kick and Jump Kick, the base power is increased by 20%." Eevee's: "Opposing Pokémon take 30% more damage from recoil." Serebii.net: " Thepower of moves that have recoil damage is doubled, but so is the recoil." UPC: "[Base damage] of moves by bearer that cause recoil damage, as well as Jump Kick and Hi Jump Kick is multiplied by 1.2. (Struggle is excluded.)"
There seems to be three theories: 1) +20% damage. 2) +100% damage, +100% recoil. 3) opponent has +30% recoil damage.
Also, related is if Hi Jump Kick is a recoil move, despite not causing recoil. Zazq 22:00, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
