Neutral target, no armor, clear weather, no item or teammate aura. DPS includes expected critical hits and maintained burn/poison. Extra targets, ground pools, periodic pulses, ramps and HP conditions are separate effects, not all included in this reading.

An attack selects several distinct eligible enemies at once. The target count does not multiply damage against a lone enemy. Use it where multiple enemies remain in range, and inspect each target's immunity and visibility rather than treating the whole volley as guaranteed damage.

Team

Concrete partner examples, not a tested winning team. Check ownership, total budget and range on your map.

Gengar

Reveals hidden Ghosts within 150px. Your attack still needs a nonzero matchup after reveal.

Blissey

Its 140px aura reduces allied attack intervals by 13.79%. This form reaches 0.4742s per attack while in range. Copies do not stack and it does not buff itself.

Suicune

Buy Hydro Pump first: a successful hit breaks armor after that hit and adds permanent all-type vulnerability. Its base form has no armor break. Hydro Pump →
