What does the move beat up actually do?

Question

OK,first let us come to the move description.

The user gets all party Pokémon to attack the target. The more party
Pokémon, the greater the number of attacks.

I prety much got what it does.But when I go to a site bulbapedia to read in details.I could not get it but I got an general idea about it.

So,some one please break up and explain the move in details.

Thanks.

No copy past from other site.(but a few lines is ok)

Basically, when you use the move Beat Up, depending on how many alive team members you have on your party, it will fire up a random base stat Dark Move equal to the number of team members. If one of your Pokemon has fainted and you use Beat Up out of 6 Pokemon total, it'll only fire 5 times due to that fainted Pokemon. The power of the Base Attack of each Beat Up strike has certain variables. From the actual Base Stat to STAB, to holding a Choice Band, they are all variables in the damage calculation of Beat Up. In theory, A Krookodile's Beat Up damage will do more damage than say, a Swirlix's Beat Up because of such factors. Say you want to figure out a calculation of how much a Pokemon's Beat Up's base power will be? As you saw in Bulbapedia, they provided this formula: Base power = (party member's base Attack) / 10 + 5. I'll provide an example. Say you want to find the Base Power of Sneasel's Beat Up. Input 95 for Base Attack, divided by 10 equals 9.5, +5 is 14.5. Even though Sneasel's Beat Up is 14.5 Base Power, this does not factor in STAB and items held.
