What is the maximum power of the capture Styler in Shadows of Almia when used on a Pokemon?

Question

Assuming you have all the powerups, max level, and charged up the styler?

Note: Do NOT answer with the styler level because that is not the answer; the question asks for the maximum power :P

Hopefully my edit makes it clearer :3

Is there any equation to this? Hard or easy I'll just damn do it. ._.

Okay just saying i went on youtube, watched through 2 or 3 different almia walkthroughs - there is no change or variation in power increase. This means that the power level at 99 is always the same and that is the 'max'. So I'm pretty sure the answer is 357 (i went on an emulator, punched in the hack to get to 99 and thats the answer as well...) so I have no idea how someone would have higher then that at level 47. :L

You've hacked the thing, post it as an answer again. It's probably right then.

You didn't include the charging of the styler and boosts that occur in specific situations.
Like there's a powerup where you get boosted Styler power when you are at low energy.

So I just finished playing through Shadows of Almia and I was using this thread as a reference to what my Styler would look like at Level 99. I was expecting it to be like the image in this thread but it turned out to be completely different. I ended up with 169 Energy and 355 Power: https://flic.kr/p/2ka9sLg

I looked on YouTube and found a video by someone who got similar numbers to me. They were only off by 5 Energy and 5 Power and I think that could be attributed to the Power-ups you get from Quests. I left a comment and I'm now waiting to see what they say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SP-bn9QuB0

The results in this thread seem to be where everyone else on the internet is getting their numbers, so I thought it best to make a comment. I couldn't really find other sources to back up my claim aside from Gameshark/Action Replay codes. It was a very tedious process grinding up to Level 99 so I hope this post helps someone in the future.

Answer 1

Okay so the maximum base is 357 (I hope and if it isn't i'm going to flip a table)
In the case where the energy is in orange (Latent power activates), at Charge level 2 and also after 6 uninterrupted loops (Combo bonus effect) and also factoring power plus which is in base power anyway the max should be 1400.
In a proportional comprison to a level 50, base 210 power, when in orange energy level (I was at 9) it goes up to 312, in charge 2 orange energy level goes up to 722 and the combo bonus takes it up to 824.
Do the maths. it works. :L
And if this is wrong I'm going to flip Mewderator.
And please don't ask me if it should be proportional ._. It either goes up in percentage increments or set values. Nintendo isn't going to change the specific amount of increase for every level. If it goes up by set value the maximum would be 961.
Actually doing the maths makes it 1400.8, close enough

Answer 2

The maximum power achievable is 1405.

Here's how power is calculated:

Latent Power: Increases your power by (base power)/2. (Rounded down)
Combo Bonus (6+ Loops): Increases your power by (base power)/2. (Rounded down)
Charge Level 2: Increases your power by (base power)*2
Power Plus: A flat +5 power boost not affected by any multipliers.

Hence, with the highest base power of 350 (displayed as 355 from Power Plus). The maximum power achievable is 350 + 350/2 + 350/2 + 350*2 + 5 = 1405.

The math checks out for Sempi's level 50 Capture Styler too. It has a base power of 205 (without the +5 from Power Plus).

With only Latent Power (and Power Plus): 205 + ⌊205/2⌋ + 5 = 312
With Latent Power & Charge Level 2 (and Power Plus): 205 + ⌊205/2⌋ + 205*2 + 5 = 722
With everything: 205 + ⌊205/2⌋ + ⌊205/2⌋ + 205*2 + 5 = 824.

How do you know this?

I did a few hours of data collection + research and extrapolated the data for the math behind each bonus effect. As for the highest base power, I took it from Tobi49ful's comment as well as the linked YouTube video in their comment.
