Thanks for the help, but i meant the number as Nidoking has 85 as its base sp.Attack, so i was wondering what that becomes with the as fore mentioned boosts
firstly note that what sealcub said is true - technically these boosts are to damage dealt, not to satk. we can approximate the equivalent satk that would be equivalent though. it depends on the investment.

a fully invested timid nidoking has 269 satk. these boosts are multiplicative so 269*1.3*1.3=454.6 satk which is roughly equivalent to a fully invested timid base 177.

however a fully invested MODEST nidoking has 295 satk. this adds up to 498.6 satk which, oddly, is roughly equivalent to a fully invested modest base 177. i'm sure there's a good reason that the two are the same but i'm too lazy to go look into that right now.

the important lesson to take away from these numbers though is that 177 is much greater than 85*1.3*1.3
