This involves a bit of math, but it shouldn’t be too hard to understand. Damage modification can be written in function notation. In your example, choice bands and electric terrain both boost damage by 50%, which would be f(d)=d+50%d. If both choice band and electric terrain are effective, the function would be applied twice to the damage.f(f(d))f(d+50%d)f(d(1+50%))f(d3/2)d3/2+50%d3/2d3/2+d3/4d(3/2+3/4)d(6/4+3/4)d9/4The damage would be multiplied by 9/4, or 2 and a quarter. It’s supported by this calculator.
