Technician increases the [[power]] of moves which have a power of 60 or less by 50%.
Technician increases the [[power]] of moves which have a power of 60 or less by 50%.


For moves with variable power, Technician will only apply if the power is 60 or less when used. For example, {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Grass Knot}} will only get a Technician boost if the target's weight is 110.0 lbs. (49.9 kg) or less. The only external power-modifying effects which are applied before Technician checks the move's power are {{a|Fairy Aura}}, {{a|Dark Aura}}, {{a|Aura Break}}, and {{a|Battery}} in Generation VI-VII. No external effects are taken into account when determining if Technician applies in Generation VIII.

The effect does not apply to {{status|confusion}} damage, which remains at a power of 40. However, if a Pokémon hurts itself in {{status|confusion}} induced due to [[obedience|disobedience]], the power is increased to 60.
 
====Generation V====
Technician no longer applies for any means of confusion damage, including the one induced by disobedience.
 
====Generation VI-VII====
Technician applies after {{a|Fairy Aura}}, {{a|Dark Aura}}, {{a|Aura Break}}, and {{a|Battery}}. This means that if the move exceeds 60 base power after one of these effects applies, Technician doesn't.
 
====Generation VIII====
Technician now applies before Fairy Aura, Dark Aura, Aura Break and Battery.
