How is damage calculated in Pokemon Shuffle?

Question

I'm thinking it's like, # of Pokemon in match x Attack Power x Super effectiveness/non effectiveness. Am I right, or how else is it?

I guess it has to do with: what the pokemon's type, level, and combo is. it also probably has to do with the species, otherwise a level 1 Kyogre would be pretty useless if you have a level 10 Squirtle

Yeah probably

Answer 1

The base damage you do is the Pokemon's Attack power. So a level 1 Haxorus has 70 attack and will do 70 points damage normally with a 3-icon match.

There are several multipliers though:

• Super effective is 2x (and not very effective is 0.5x)
• Matching 4 icons is 1.5x and matching 5 icons is 2x
• Higher combos increase damage too, e.g. assuming all 70 power Pokemon the first match does 70 damage, the next 3 in the combo do 77 each. The multipliers are:
  • 2nd-4th match = 1.1x
  • 5th-9th = 1.15x
  • 10th-24th = 1.2x
  • 25th-49th = 1.3x
  • 50th-74th = 1.4x
  • 75th-99th = 1.5x
  • 100th upward = 2x
• Various abilities add or multiply damage e.g. Dancing Dragons multiplies every Dragon-type match in the combo by 1.2x. See our Shuffle Abilities page for full details.

Woah, thanks!

No problem :) The gamefaqs link does pretty much explain it but I thought it would be more clear to have it right here on the page.

There are different ways of calculating it. This source tells you most, but not all abilities. But still pretty useful:
