On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VIII Generation IX

Dragon Energy (Japanese: ドラゴンエナジー Dragon Energy) is a damage-dealing Dragon-type move introduced in Generation VIII. It is the signature move of Regidrago.

Effect

Dragon Energy deals damage. It has 150 base power at maximum HP, but its base power decreases proportionally to the user's remaining HP.

Specifically, its base power is equal to ${\bigg \lfloor }{\frac {150\times HP_{current}}{HP_{max}}}{\bigg \rfloor }$. However, if this formula produces a value less than 1, the move's base power becomes 1 instead.

In a battle with multiple opponents, Dragon Energy will target all adjacent opponents.

	Regidrago positions its arms on top of and underneath its body, forming a dragon's head. The "mouth" of the dragon's head then opens, forming a purple orb of energy in front of Regidrago's body. It then fires a purple beam of energy from the orb at the opponent.
