Okay. Here’s the damage formula

Damage = ((((2Level / 5 + 2)AttackStatAttackPower / DefenseStat) / 50) + 2)STABWeakness/ResistanceRandomNumber / 100

To find the answer you want, I’ll assume a few constants.

Constants:Level=100Defense Stat=100STAB=1.5Weakness=1.0resistance=1.0Random Number=20.

Waterfall calculation:

Given—> attack Stat=243, attack power=80

Damage = ((((2100/ 5 + 2)AttackStatAttackPower / DefenseStat) / 50) + 2)STABWeakness/ResistanceRandomNumber / 100

Damage = (((4224380 / 100) / 50) + 2)1.520 / 100

Damage = 165.2961.520 / 100

Damage=49.48 or 50 with significant figures.

Damage Surf:

Given—> Attack power=95, SpAtk=200

Damage = ((((2Level / 5 + 2)AttackStatAttackPower / DefenseStat) / 50) + 2)STABWeakness/ResistanceRandomNumber / 100

Damage = ((((2100/ 5 + 2)20095 / 100) / 50) + 2)1.5 * 20 / 100

Damage = (((4220095 / 100) / 50) + 2)1.520 / 100

Damage = (((4220095 / 100) / 50) + 2)1.520 / 100

Damage = 161.61.520 / 100

Damage=48.48= or 48. with significant figures.

-Waterfall does 50 points of damage.

-Surf does 48 points of damage.

there’s not much difference, but you could always use stat boosters, EV training Etc.
