Effects
Flail deals more damage the lower the user’s HP. The following formula is used:
N = 48 × CurrentHP ÷ MaxHP
The value of N is then used to determine the base power, as per the table below. It converts to some quite specific percentages which are also shown.
Changes
- In Generations 2-4, Flail used a multiplier of 64 instead of 48. The HP ranges corresponding to the base power list above are, respectively:
0 – 3.12%
3.13 – 9.35%
9.36 – 20.30%
20.31 – 34.37%
34.38 – 67.18%
67.19 – 100%
