DescriptionDeals a set amount of damage equal to a random value between 0.5x and 1.5x the user's level, rounded down, but not less than 1 HP. Does not take type resistances or weaknesses into account, but cannot hit Dark-types. The calculation for the amount of damage dealt is as follows, where where X is a random number from 0 to 100: Base Power = (user's level) * (X+50) / 100 Competitive UseThis move seems like it would function as a decent alternative to Seismic Toss or Night Shade for Pokemon that do not have those moves. The problem is that every Pokemon that gets this move has a decent enough Attack or Special stat (relative to its tier) to use other damaging moves. Plus, a 50-150 damage range is rather unreliable compared to the stability of Night Shade and Seismic Toss. Related MovesPsychic is a much more powerful option available to every Pokemon that learns Psywave. Night Shade and Seismic Toss are much more reliable options for set damage moves, dealing fixed damage based on the user's level.
