This is in reply to Zapdos64's article on Jynx. You figured the
meditate
damage wrong in his example, so I'll clarify.
Here's what you said:
Meditate is a great attack. If a Chansey has say, 50
damage, and you do Meditate, it will double the 50 damage to 100 and add 20.
When I have used Jynx she could wipe out an Pokemon in 2-3 turns.
My response:
I have no idea why you doubled the damage. This is how you figure meditate
damage:
Chansey with 50 damage and then meditate adds 20 damage. This equals 70
damage. Now since Chansey has RESISTANCE to psychic, you SUBTRACT 30
damage.
Therefore, Jynx's meditate does 40 damage to a Chansey with 50 damage on it.
You figure the COMPLETE meditate damage (including the 20 damage Jynx
"adds"), then weakness and resistance.
