(→‎In battle: Turns out, Technician does not take into account base power modifiers, but it DOES take variable base power into account, like this section says.

Regardless, I'll update the power page accordingly.)

Despite {{m|Struggle}} having a base power of 60 or less, it is not boosted by Technician in Generation IV.
