Talk:Reckless (Ability)

Only the Opponent? Isn't it both Pokémon? File:Ani137MS.gifTESHFile:Ani233MS.gif^{TALKFile:Ani474MS.gifSAND} 19:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

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)

Hi Jump Kick causes recoil when it misses. I'll try and test out this ability some tomorrow. — Laoris _(Blah) 06:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

So how about Wild Bolt, isn't it increased too?

Chart

I noticed how cool the chart on Skill Link's page was, and was wondering if the information on which Pokémon with Reckless can learn each modified move could be integrated into the chart on this page. --Andy^P_K^M_N (talk) 12:01, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

C'mon, anybody? I don't have the coding smarts to do this myself. --Andy^P_K^M_N (talk) 12:37, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
