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.
