Effect

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

Damage is calculated according to the following formula:

$Rand(BaseDamage/3,BaseDamage*3)*Bonus$

• 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.
• Rand(x, y) - Selects a random value within the range of x to y, inclusive, and rounded down to the nearest whole number.
• Bonus - An extra multiplier, determined by the skill's level.

Skill level growth

Increasing skill level will increase the value of the bonus multiplier.
