Best answer

Adaptability increases your STAB moves from 1.5x to 2×.
Hyper Beam does 150 damage.
With STAB, plus Adaptability, it will do 300 damage.

with normal gem it would be 600
Just think... Hyper beam+adap+stab+silk scarf...so powerful
ummmmmm hyper beam doesnt do 150 damage, thats the power of the move
and also, you shouldn't use silk scarf, get a life orb, adaptability hyper beam with that..... 300 power, and a 1.5x from life orb, i believe power isn't the same as damage, after all, there are many factors to calculate, and the equation is probably longer than what flame said for sure
With hyper beam with adaptability + live orb is has a whopping 450 POWER.
