Magnitude

(1/4) > >>

Sam:
Wow. I'm actually posting a serious topic... pretty cool huh?

Okay, so my question is: When using the move Magnitude, will it be like in the games themselves or just serve as a weaker Earthquake? Because in other games I've played, it's an Earth attack with like 50 or 60 Power. Which is lame, because it's meant to be a move that makes you go:
"Oooh, I hope it's Magnitude 10."

Mr Squiggles used Magnitude!
Magnitude 4!

"GODDAMNIT!"

Inflicts regular damage. Power is selected at random between 10 and 150, with an average of 64:

Magnitude   Power   Chance
4                10        5%
5                30        10%
6                50        20%
7                70        20%
8                90        20%
9                110      10%
10              150      5%

This move has double power against Pokémon currently underground due to Dig.

Raikt:
Earthquake is always chosen for consistency. It's always going to have 100 BP (150 with STAB involved) while Magnitude's will vary.

Not "always", my good man. ;)

With my GOLEM I chose Magnitude instead of Magnitude simply because I like to take chances. I liked the satisfaction of seeing:

"Squiggles (Yes, my GOLEM's name is Squiggles) used Magnitude!"
"Magnitude 10!"

But, yeah... it often failed to get 10... but I still like the move more than Earthquake because of it's unreliability. :)
