How much damage would Surging Strikes do in this scenario?

Question

I am using a Rapid Strike Style Urshifu from the new DLC. What I want to know is how much damage Surging Strikes would do while holding a Sea Incense with 383 atk. I'm sorry I do not understand the calculation method.

The amount of damage the attack will do depends on what Pokemon you use it against. We can't tell you how much damage the attack would do unless we know the target.

What are you hitting?

The Showdown! damage calculator is often outdated. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Damage and https://www.trainertower.com/dawoblefets-damage-dissertation/ are more accurate, but they require reading a lot of text and manually entering numbers into a separate calculator.

lv 100 Urshifu used surging strikes against lv 100 spinda EVs: 252 HP 252 Def
Dmg: 373-439, spinda HP: 324 , OHKO

wow damage calculation is very complicated. hope this helps.

Why Spinda though? This question was sorta impossible to answer because it didn’t specify on the Pokémon getting hit

---

Honestly just want to know against 1x effective pokemon. that would give me a better idea on the damage

If you want a precise damage calculation, then you need to name a specific Pokemon and include its EVs, nature, IVs and level, plus specify Urshifu's level. All of those factors are relevant to the process.

I think the only missing variables are your Urshifu's level and the target's defense stat. The target's species, level, and other stats (usually) have no effect on damage.

Then lets base it off of a Galarian Slowbro with 250 Def. (both level 100)

Answer 1

damage = ((((2 + (2 * level / 5)) * power * attack) / (defense * 50)) + 2) * modifier * random
Power is 25 * 1.2 because it's holding a sea incense.
Modifier is STAB * critical, which is 1.5 * 1.5.
Random is between 0.85 and 1.
damage > ((((2 + (2 * 100 / 5)) * 25 * 1.2 * 383) / (250 * 50)) + 2) * 1.5 * 1.5 * 0.85 = 77
damage < ((((2 + (2 * 100 / 5)) * 25 * 1.2 * 383) / (250 * 50)) + 2) * 1.5 * 1.5 = 92
