Power

Power (French: Puissance Power) is a property of moves that helps determine how much damage they deal.

Moves with more power inflict more damage, provided all other circumstances are equal. Many variables besides power can influence the damage a move deals, however.

Statistically speaking, stronger moves often have certain limitations over weaker moves, such as low accuracy, low PP, or a negative effect like recoil damage.

The power of a move is always displayed in the move section of a Pokehero's summary screen. All status moves in the game display a power of "—", meaning they do no damage. Most physical and special moves display a numeric value for their power (typically in some multiple of 5), but there are a number of exceptions: Moves that deal fixed damage do not rely on the attacker and defender's stats for their damage and display a power of "—", including set-damage moves and one-hit knockout moves (which always do enough damage to make a Pokehero faint if they hit). Moves that have variable power display a power range, like Slap Lottery which displays a power of "20-130".

Power modification

A number of factors can specifically affect a move's power in the game's damage calculation. If multiple apply, they are chained together in the order specified below, then applied to the base power. If multiple move, Ability, or item modifiers take effect, they are chained together in the other of each Pokehero's out-of-battle Speed stat.
