Damage Formula said:

[(Base Attack Power + STAB + Critical Hit + Attack Rank Bonus + Ability Effects + Field Effects - Defense Rank Bonus - Burn Effect) * Type Effectiveness] + (Stage Boost Difference * 1.75).

LEGEND
Base Attack Power: The Base Attack Power of an Attack. Most attacks in ASB have Base Attack Powers equal to their game values divided by 10 and rounded up. However a floor has been implemented on most attacks, resulting in no attack having less than 4 Base Attack Power. Check the Attack List for data on specific attacks, as they can have other effects on damage.

STAB: Same Type Attack Bonus. It provides +3 damage and -1 Energy Cost to moves a Pokemon uses that match its type.

Critical Hit: Adds 3 damage to any attack (before applying weakness and resistance). Critical Hits ignore Reflect and Light Screen and only apply stat boosts if positive boosts exceed negative boosts. Super Luck doubles the Critical Hit Stage of a Pokemon, and Sniper increases the damage dealt by critical hits to 5 instead of 3. The easiest way to determine whether or not a Critical Hit lands this is to use a Random Number Generator. Without any boosts or abilities, if a value lands on 625/10000 or below, the resulting attack will land a Critical Hit.

Attack/Defense Rank Bonus: Pokemon deal more damage based on the relevant Attack stat, and take less damage based on the relevant Defense stat. For each rank between 1 and 5, a Pokemon gets a Bonus of 1.5. For example, a Pokemon with Rank 4 Atk would get an Attack Rank Bonus of 4*1.5=6, while the defending Pokemon with Rank 2 Def would get a Defense Rank Bonus of 2*1.5=3. Any Rank above 5 adds 1 to the Rank Bonus instead of 1.5. For example, a Pokemon with Rank 6 Atk would get an Attack Rank Bonus of (5*1.5)+1=8.5.

Ability Effects: Guts, Hustle, Sturdy, and the like, applied from both Pokemon. Check the Ability List for specific information regarding how the various Abilities interact with damage calculations.

Field Effects: Weather effects on damage reflect in-game principles. Under intense Sunlight, Fire-type moves gain an additional 3 damage and Water-type moves lose 3 damage. Under Rain, it is the opposite. In a Sandstorm, Rock-types receive a Special Defense increase that reduces incoming damage from Special Attacks by 2.

Burn Effect: If a Pokemon is Burned, its physical attacks have their power reduced by 3.

Type Effectiveness: Effectiveness based on type. The table below shows the multipliers that are used based on a move's effectiveness.

4x super-effective: 2.25x
2x super-effective: 1.5x
Neutral: 1x
2x resisted: 0.67x
4x resisted: 0.44x
8x resisted: 0.29x

Stage Boost Difference: The differences in Stage Boosts brought on by attacks like Swords Dance and Bulk Up. For example, a Scizor with +2 Atk will do an additional 2*1.75=3.5 damage per attack. Stat drops work the same way; that same Scizor with -1 Atk will do 1*1.75=1.75 less damage per attack. Defensive stat boosts/drops are also taken into consideration here. For example, if Scizor is at +2 Atk and Whimsicott is at +3 Def, the Stage Boost Difference is calculated as (2*1.75)-(3*1.75)=-1.75 and so the attack will do 1.75 less damage than normal.

Comboes said:

Rather than a Signature Move system, CAP ASB focuses much more on the usage of combinations. Used correctly, combinations can turn the tide in tough battles. Combinations are allowed at the discretion of the ref, however any combination that makes some level of sense will likely pass the basic test of "can these moves feasibly be combined." Combinations occur on the first action they are used and the second action is a "cooldown" Action where the Pokemon is left vulnerable to attacks. The cooldown of a Combination is determined to take place on the Action immediately following the Combination, and can be spread across rounds. This means that a Pokemon may use a Combination on the final Action of a round, and the cooldown will occur on Action 1 of the next round. This also applies to rounds that end prematurely due to a fainted Pokemon.

Combination Effects:

There are two kinds of combinations. A combination of the same attack, and a combination of different attacks. Combinations of the same attack have multiplicative effects, Combinations of different attacks have additive effects.

Same Attack:
Base Attack Power = BAP * 2.25
Energy Cost = (EC + (EC+4))*1.75
Effect Chance = Effect Chance * 2
Stat Boosts/Drawbacks = Stat Boosts/Drawbacks * 2
Return Damage = Return Damage Multiplier ^2
Recoil = Recoil * 1.5
Accuracy = (Accuracy^2) + Spe Modifier
Direct Recovery = Direct Recovery * 2.25
Contact = Yes if Contact Move is part of Combo

Different Attacks:
Base Attack Power = BAP 1 + BAP 2
Energy Cost = (EC 1 + EC 2) * 1.5
Effect Chance = Effect Chance 1 + Effect Chance 2
Stat Boosts/Drops = B/D 1 + B/D 2
Return Damage - Return Damage 1 + Return Damage 2
Recoil = Recoil 1 + Recoil 2 / # Recoil Moves
Accuracy = ((Accuracy 1 + Accuracy 2) / 2) + Spe Modifier
Direct Recovery = Direct Recovery 1 + Direct Recovery 2
Contact = Yes if Contact Move is part of combo.

Combination Type (CT):

Combination type can alter based on how attacks are used, though most are cut and dried. Combination attacks take on the typing of whichever attack within the Combo has the strongest Combination Type. There are 6 Combination Types, in order of strength:

Set: Typing is such a fixed part of this attack it will override all other types.
Force: Typing defines the attack to such an extent it will override elements.
Elemental: Typing defines the attack as imbued with an elemental property.
Passive: Typing is part of the attack but is not definitive in its use.
Deferring: This attack is easily redefined by the qualities of other attacks
None: This attack summons other attacks and uses their properties, or otherwise cannot be combined.

In cases where the CT of both attacks used in a Combo is the same, then the typing of the attack is the same as whichever attack has the higher BAP.

Combination Priority:

Combinations often utilize moves of different priority levels. Here is a breakdown of how these priority brackets interact:

Priority 0 + Priority 0: -2

Priority 3 + Priority 2: 5 (ex. Fake Out + Feint)
Priority 3 + Priority 1: 4 (ex. Fake Out + Bullet Punch)
Priority 2 + Priority 2: 4 (ex. ExtremeSpeed + Feint)
Priority 2 + Priority 1: 3 (ex. ExtremeSpeed + Aqua Jet)
Priority 2 + Priority 0: 2 (ex. Feint + Crunch)
Priority 1 + Priority 1: 2 (ex. Bullet Punch + Mach Punch)
Priority 1 + Priority 0: 1 (ex. Bullet Punch + ThunderPunch)
Priority 1 + Priority -3: -2 (ex. Mach Punch + Focus Punch)
Priority 0 + Priority -1: -3 (ex. Body Slam + Bounce [Hit])
Priority 0 + Priority -2: -4 (ex. Brave Bird + Fly [Hit])
Priority 0 + Priority -3: -5 (ex. ThunderPunch + Focus Punch)
Priority 0 + Priority -4: -6 (ex. Icicle Crash + Avalanche)
Priority 0 + Priority -5: -7 (ex. Metal Burst + Counter)
Priority 0 + Priority -6: -7 (ex. Iron Tail + Dragon Tail)
Priority -1 + Priority 0: -3 (ex. Razor Wind [Hit] + Air Slash)
Priority -1 + Priority -6: -7 (ex. Vital Throw + Circle Throw)
Priority -1 + Priority -2: -5 (ex. Skull Bash [Hit] + Dig [Hit]
Priority -2 + Priority 0: -4 (ex. Dig [Hit] + Crunch)
Priority -2 + Priority -1: -5 (ex. Fly [Hit] + Sky Attack [Hit])
Priority -3 + Priority -3: -7 (ex. Focus Punch + Focus Punch)
Priority -4 + Priority -4: -7 (ex. Avalanche + Avalanche)
Priority -5 + Priority -5: -7 (ex. Mirror Coat + Mirror Coat)

Other Priority Combination notes:

Charge effects always occur during their normal priority, so Focus Punch will always charge before any other action. Sky Attack will still charge at +1, and Razor Wind and Skull Bash will still have their useful effects at +1 Priority.

Evasive Actions are moved down by the same level of priority as a the Hit phase, so Dig + Crunch will have the Evasive action take place at -2 and the Hit take place at -4 (e.g. it can evade Focus Punch and priority combinations that hit -3 priority) Body Slam + Bounce will take evasive action on -2 priority and hit at -3, potentially allowing you to evade a normal Dig, Fly, or 0 + 0 Combination, or worst case scenario evading or damaging vs. a Focus Punch.

Priority attacks used in combinations (e.g. Aqua Jet, ExtremeSpeed) only add half their Base Attack Power to a combination with a different move. The same priority move combined with itself will not suffer any loss in BAP. If two priority moves are used in a combination, only the Base Attack Power of the weaker priority move is halved. If both are the same power, only one of them is halved (e.g. Mach Punch + Bullet Punch has 6 BAP, not 4).

You must order an action for the action after the combination. In the event that you fail to execute the combination due to full paralysis, flinching, or another reason, ordering an action in the form of something like "Flamethrower + Fire Blast - Cooldown (Flamethrower)" gives your Pokemon a safety net if you would not actually cool down that action. If no action is ordered along with a presumed cooldown and the combination fails to be executed, then the Pokemon uses Struggle on that action instead.
