Crowd Control (skill)

Crowd Control むれをなす
Form Groups
Skill
Increases damage when there are more <Pokémon> in the puzzle area.

Crowd Control (Japanese: むれをなす Form Groups) is a skill in Pokémon Shuffle.

Effect

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

Damage is calculated according to the following formula:

BaseDamage+(50*P)

  • 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.
  • P - The amount of icons of the user in the puzzle area (not counting icons involved in the initial match).

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 activation rate.
