How much damage does an attack do according to stats?

Say we have a giratina using shadow force on a huntail (giratina’s attack is 297 and huntail’s defense is 274) how much damage would giratina deal and how is it determined? the giratina and huntail are lv 100 is it Base power+atk/sp.atk-sp def/def? thanks in advance to whoever answers :D

There’s the formulas. So let’s calculate!

So between 140 and 160.

This is the damage formula^ Complicated math right there.>Levelis the level of the attacking Pokémon.Attack and Defenseare the working Attack and Defense stats of the attacking and defending Pokémon, respectively. If the attack is Special, the Special Attack and Special Defense stats are used instead. Some moves like Psystrike use other stat than usually move of this category would use (in case of Psystrike, it uses Special Attack and Defense).Baseis the base damage of the attack.Modifieris calculated as follows:STABis the same-type attack bonus. This is equal to 1.5 if the attack is of the same type as the user, and 1 if otherwise.Typeis the type effectiveness. This can be either 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 depending on the type of attack and the type of the defending Pokémon.Criticalis 2 for a critical hit, 1 otherwise.other counts for things like held items, Abilities, field advantages, and whether the battle is a Double Battle or Triple Battle or not.rand is a random number from 0.85 to 1.00.

There you go xD Sorry if it’s a little complicated.
