Does swagger powers up the base power of foul play?

Question

so I was thinking if I rais the attack of a pokeomn does foul play gets stronger or does foulplay ignores that attack boost

Answer 1

Yes it will increase as it counts the base attack stat of the opposing Pokemon

Answer 2

>It uses the target's Attack stat to calculate damage, as opposed to the user's Attack stat. The target's Attack stat modifier is incorporated into damage calculation. With the exception of the Attack stat and Attack stat modifier, all other factors affecting damage calculation, including the item, Ability, type, and status ailment of the user of Foul Play, are incorporated as normal.

So yes, it does actually take it into account.

if you're going to claim something as a source try to at least quote it correctly.  it should read as follows:
