Trump Card inflicts more damage when fewer PP are left, as per the table. The power is calculated based on the PP remaining after the move has been used; this is to account for the ability Pressure which deducts 2 PP for each move.

If Trump Card is selected via a different move such as Metronome or Sleep Talk, it uses the PP of that move to determine the power.
