Am I the only one that thinks this statement could be clearer? What's being said here? The way I read it the target pokemon won't receive poison/leach seed damage...and the user...does still take damage from that type of move? After...fainting? Is this a programing technicality or am I reading this wrong, because that situation (taking damage apparently after a self-inflicted KO) doesn't seem like it would ever happen.--[[User:Barakku|Barakku]] 17:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

== Clarification needed ==
In the description it says:
"Self-inflicted recoil damage from Double-Edge from the previous turn can be countered if the target does not make a move on the following turn"
What does this mean, exactly? If the target is asleep or faints due to this attack, the user doesn't get any recoil?

Revision as of 14:25, 30 November 2010

I think that there needs to be some corrections to this page.

I think this is what it should be:

Generation I: Base damage 100, Recoil 1/4

Generation II: Base damage 120, Recoil 1/4

Generations III/IV: Base damage 120, Recoil 1/3 (Found in three Nintendo Power guides and through personal experience I know this to be true)

There's only one way to test this. Hurting myself with Double-Edge! Yay! And yes, 1/3 is correct. TTEchidna 22:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Clairify?

Clarification needed

In the description it says:

"Self-inflicted recoil damage from Double-Edge from the previous turn can be countered if the target does not make a move on the following turn"

What does this mean, exactly? If the target is asleep or faints due to this attack, the user doesn't get any recoil?
