Effect

When activated, this skill increases the damage of the initial match only.

Damage at skill level 1 is calculated according to the following formula:

$BaseDamage+(20*D)$

• BaseDamage - The regular damage calculation, which considers the Pokémon's attack power, type matchups, match size, status conditions, etc. See Pokémon Shuffle → Damage for more details.
• D - The amount of disruptions in the puzzle area (only counting breakable-rocks, unbreakable-blocks, and Coins).
  • Higher skill levels increase the coefficient, going from 20 at skill level 1, to 50 at skill level 5.

This added damage is "flat" - it is not affected by the Pokémon's attack power, type matchups, or any other multipliers.

Skill level growth

Increasing skill level will increase the added damage.

Skill Level	Skill Points		Activation rate (Match of X)			Added damage
	Total	To next	3	4	5
1	—	2	25%	75%	100%	+(20 × D)
2	2	7				+(30 × D)
3	9	21				+(35 × D)
4	30	70				+(40 × D)
5	100	—				+(50 × D)
