===Generations II to V===
===Generation II to IV===
Magnitude does not have a set base power. Instead the base power of this move varies on a magnitude scale between four and ten.  
Magnitude's [[power]] varies based on a randomly selected "magnitude" value ranging from 4 to 10, with 4 having the least power and 10 having the greatest.


This attack will randomly choose a magnitude between four and ten, with four having the least power and ten having the greatest. Magnitude, like {{m|Earthquake}} will hit with twice the power if the target is in the underground stage of {{m|Dig}}.
Magnitude can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}}, and if it does, it will have its power doubled for that Pokémon.


Base power varies as follows:
Power varies as follows:

Its effective power for statistical purposes could be considered as the average power, 71.
Its average power is 71.
 
===Generation V to VII===
If Magnitude hits a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}}, instead of doubling in power, the damage is doubled instead, resulting in virtually the same effect.


===Generation VI===
If {{m|Grassy Terrain}} is in effect, Magnitude deals only half the usual damage.
If {{m|Grassy Terrain}} is in effect, Magnitude deals only half the usual damage.


===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
===Generation VIII onwards===
Magnitude deals 5 damage at Magnitude 4, and 8 additional damage for each order of magnitude. Weakness, resistance, and {{a|Levitate}} all affect damage.
Magnitude cannot be selected in a battle.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Magnitude damages all other Pokémon in the room, dealing a variable amount of damage. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, Magnitude deals fixed damage dependent on the Magnitude level: 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 35 or 40; afterwards multiplying the damage by STAB and type matchup.
 
Magnitude deals double damage to Pokémon in middle of {{m|Dig}}.

Magnitude (Japanese: マグニチュード Magnitude) is a damage-dealing Ground-type move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Generation II to IV

Magnitude's power varies based on a randomly selected "magnitude" value ranging from 4 to 10, with 4 having the least power and 10 having the greatest.

Magnitude can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig, and if it does, it will have its power doubled for that Pokémon.

Power varies as follows:

Magnitude Power Probability
4 10 5%
5 30 10%
6 50 20%
7 70 30%
8 90 20%
9 110 10%
10 150 5%

Its average power is 71.

Generation V to VII

If Magnitude hits a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig, instead of doubling in power, the damage is doubled instead, resulting in virtually the same effect.

If Grassy Terrain is in effect, Magnitude deals only half the usual damage.

Generation VIII onwards

Magnitude cannot be selected in a battle.

Trivia

  • Despite being introduced in Generation II, no Pokémon introduced in Generation II could learn Magnitude until Generation IV.
  • At 150 base power, Magnitude 10 has the highest base power of all Ground-type moves.
    • At base power 10, Magnitude 4 has the lowest base power of all Ground-type moves and is tied with Constrict for the lowest fixed base power of any move.
  • Due to the 2004 Chuetsu earthquake, this move, along with Fissure and Earthquake, has not been used in the anime since AG101 (which itself has never been aired).
