What is the highest damage output possible in Hackmons?
I’ve been messing around with Showdown calcs, and this is what I came up with:
Can you beat this?

With the newer moves Instruct and Tar Shot, and the abilities Fluffy and Power Spot we can now go even higher than Shuckle ever did. This time it’s Pikachu delivering the final blow, and it has to hit a Substitute.(Note: This would only be possible if triple battles existed in the newest games)
Even at level 100, Pikachu’s attack maxes at a measly 229. However, we can get our old friend Shuckle to help us here: After using Power Trick, Shuckle can use Power Split on Pikachu, and after switching out and repeating the process 10 times, we get to613, which is as high as it gets. Then we apply 6 tiers of Attack modifiers (4x), Pure/Huge Power (2x), Light Ball (2x) (which is why it has to be Pikachu) and Flower Gift (1.5x) (which does not stack, so we can only do one) which leaves the attack at14712.
The target will be a Smeargle with7or less Defense, which after modifiers becomes1. It has to use Type reflect on a Genesect, and then get Forest’s Curse applied for an8xweakness to fire. Smeargle must also be under the effect of Tar Shot, whichdoublesdamage taken from fire-type moves, and have the ability Fluffy, which alsodoublesfire damage, but not if the move makes contact. Since the move we are using,V-create, makes contact, we use a Substitute to avoid this. The sun, which is necessary to activate Flower gift, will also give a1.5xboost to damage. If we use Color Change to change Pikachu’s type to fire, STAB (1.5x) will occur, and with a crit (1.5x) the total damage multiplier becomes108.
V-create has a base power of180, and since this is a triple battle we have two teammates who can both use Helping Hand, boosting the power by2.25x. Now Instruct lets two of the pokémon on Smeargle’s team instruct those teammates to use Helping Hand again, for another2.25x. V-create is activated using Me First, which again multiplies the power by1.5. Lastly, since Flower Gift didn’t stack, we have another spot for an ability. We fill it with Power Spot, which boosts the power of moves used by all teammates by1.3x. The total power of our move is now 1776.9375, rounded down to1776.
To calculate the damage, use the formula Floor((LevelPowerAttack)/(Defense50)+2)Modifier. Level is 42 for a level 100 pokémon, so we get Floor((42177614712)/(1*50)+2)*108=2,370,378,816.
OK… I think I beat myself!
Shuckle…
Level 100 - Atk 22Power Trick - Atk 465EVs and IVs - Atk 559+6 Boosts - Atk 2236 (I think)Huge power- Atk 4472
OK. Now he is up against:
Noibat…Level 1 - Def 5EVs and IVs - Def 4-6 Def - Def 1
The Attack is ICE BALL…With Defence curlWith Metronome,and Shuckle is ice type (Protean)!
Psypoke Says:
Defense Curl boosts the base power for Ice Ball with a 2.0× multiplierHelping Hand strengthened the power of Ice Ball with a 1.5× multiplierShuckle’s Huge Power boosted its Attack with a 2.0× multiplierShuckle’s partner’s Flower Gift boosted its Attack with a 1.5× multiplierShuckle’s Metronome strengthened the power of Ice Ball with a 2.0× multiplier
Max Damage: 116,818,352
But if it’s a triple battle, there are two helping hands and flower gifts, so
Max Damage: 262 841 292
Adding on Shuckle’s STABMax Damage: 394, 261, 938
And if Noibat is Forest Cursed:Max damage: 788, 523, 876
Correct me if my math was wrong :P
