I still don’t understand how Wrath of Alakazam managed 342 million damage for Shuckle instead of Mewtwo-Mega-Y. Maybe he calculated it manually. My Math isn’t the best though...

It was Power Trick :)

And I thought we were both using 255 SpA...
How did you do your calcs?

+6 252+ SpA Metronome Flare Boost Shuckle Helping Hand Battery boosted Pin Missile (5 hits) vs. -6 0 HP / 0- SpD Fluffy Abomasnow in Sun on a critical hit: 1383235920-1627336440 (138323592000 - 162733644000%) -- guaranteed KO in 1 turns

That Pin Missile 999 BP Fire Type Special xd

+6 252+ SpA Metronome Flash Fire Abomasnow Helping Hand Battery boosted Pin Missile (5 hits) vs. -6 0 HP / 0- SpD Fluffy Shedinja in Harsh Sunshine on a critical hit: 1507399320-1773411000 (150739932000 - 177341100000%) -- guaranteed KO in 1 turns after Stealth Rock, 3 layers of Spikes, and Leech Seed damage

I finally realized that when you wrote ‘Metronome’ you meant the item, not the move. Here’s a 1.5 billion damage one now.

We’re not even doubling it for Forest’s Curse!

What about the hypothetical minimum damage scenario, granting that the formula allowed non-integer solutions? Immunities and other forms of nullification such as Protect don't qualify as 0 can't really be considered inflicting damage.
