Ambipom confusion

[DjGopher]

Hello, I'll get a log in as soon as I come across the situation again, sorry for the inconvenience :P
Using this ambipom:
@normal gem (used already)
299 attack stat (252, 31, jolly)

It became confused with 72% health and hurt itself in its confusion which OHKO'd it.
The normal gem likely didn't do this as it was used already.
Technician and stab are not supposed to influence confusion damage.
Including technician and stab, a 40 base power attack (using fake out on the calculator) does a max of 60.8% damage on an 0 hp, 0 defense ambipom.
Not factoring Stab or technician only deals a maximum of 27.1% damage.

Using http://www.smogon.com/calc/ for calculations.

If at all helpful, I believe the attack that was supposed to be used was Acrobatics, which doubles without an item.
The variables make it kind of annoying to isolate, but I'm guessing you have a bug in one or more of the following..
Expired normal gem on confusion damage
Stab boost on confusion damage
Doubling confusion damage if using Acrobatics with no item
Technician boost on confusion damage

Sorry if that is far to vague, let me know if I can be of further assistance..

I'll test this.
note: the ambipom was at 100% health when it hurt itself in confusion

Hmm, thank you.
So it was not the fabled 72%, then, but this does confirm that confusion damage was in fact treated as a stab and technician boosted 40 bp attack, when in fact neither of the modifiers should have effected it..

Or Acrobatics doubled the attack power and it shot up from max 27.1?

Thanks :)

hmm most likely i'm guessing it was acrobatics bonus + technician bonus, bringing the max to 81%

This is prolly something you should post on the PO boards...
