How Much Power does Aurora Beam have after NeverMeltIce, x4 Super Effective, and STAB?

I’m about to battle Rayquaza in Pokemon Sapphire and I don’t have a Master Ball because I missed it in the Team Aqua Hideout. So I was wondering how powerful Aurora Beam would be with the NeverMeltIce, STAB, and x4 super effective. I’m just so confused with the whole thing so someone please help me. (Aurora Beam’s base power is 65 btw)

65 (Base power) x 1.5 (STAB) x 1.2 (NeverMeltIce) x 4 (weakness) =468

this is just circa as we don’t know your EVs or IVs, but lets say 84 EVs (average) and 0 IVs under circumstances already stated=64.5% - 77.4%

65

78

117

468

It depend on which Pokemon is using it, and what it’s level is.

Say if you’re Pokemon is Dewgong at 70 lvl, it’s a clean kill, but if it’s 64 lvl instead, it barely misses taking it out at 252 sp.atk investment.

EDIT:If you’re Pokemon is a Walrein at lvl 52, and if you have 0 investment in special attack, it would do just above half to a lvl 70 Rayquaza. However this also means two hits is a sure knock out.

Hope I helped!

Answering this because the answers below are wrong.

STAB boosts damage, not Base Power

Type Effectiveness boosts damage, not Base Power.

Actually the Aurora Beam Base Power with Never Melt Ice will be78. (Or 71 if you’re playing Gen 1, 2 or 3).

Also in this case you’re fighting Rayquaza, every Aurora Beam user (except Legendaries) will not be a guaranteed OHKO to Rayquaza, you might be unlucky or your Aurora Beam user is below Rayquaza’s level.

Lvl 70 0 SpA Walrein Aurora Beam vs. Lvl 70 0 HP / 0 SpD Rayquaza: 217-256 (95.5 - 112.7%) – 75% chance to OHKOLvl 70 0 SpA Cloyster Aurora Beam vs. Lvl 70 0 HP / 0 SpD Rayquaza: 193-228 (85 - 100.4%) – 6.3% chance to OHKO
