What will be the total Base Power and what item should I use?
I’m creating a PU team and I saw one guy using a Sneasel with Beat Up. That strategy was the best I ever seen! It was a Sneasel Adamant 252 Atk + 252 Speed with the move Beat Up.
I don’t know nothing about Beat Up and how it works so I need help.As I see in Bulbapedia, Beat Up increases if the 6 pokémons have more attack. Also Beat Up is a STAB move increasing the damage by each hit.My team is Regigigas, Rampardos, Slaking, Gigalith, Barbacle and Sneasel, all with 252 EVs in Atk + 31 IVs Attack.
I saw the Sneasel taking 20%-40% of each hit, but mine is only taking 8%-14% of each hit (normal attack [dark-move hits normal-type] and not a defensive pokémon). Why aren’t the attacks doing such great damage?
Beat Up now receivesSTABfrom Dark-type users and no longer deals typeless damage. Beat Up ignores changes to stat levels such as Swords Dance,but each strike does increase in power from Attack-boosting items like the Choice Band if held by the user. -Bulbapedia
Thanks for all people who helped!

The formula for calculating the base power if Beat Up is as follows:
Base power = (party member’s base Attack) / 10 + 5
So let’s say all of your party memebers are healthy, and all have a base 100 Attack stat.
100/10 + 5 = 1515 x 6 = 90
Expect this number to be much lower though.
With STAB: 90 x 1.5 =135
90 x 1.5 = 135
3.Sneasel is already quite fast, and if you’re going to give it a Choice Band moves like Night Slash would be better than Beat Up for use. I would recommend an item like a King’s Rock or Scope Lens, but King’s Rock is probably the most viable, because again Night Slash works better with a Scope Lens.
Actually, a Choice Band would be worthless in this case because Beat Up uses not the attack stat, but thebase attackto calculate base power. The formula is: (base attack of party member)/10 + 5. So the base power varies from party member to party member.
The base power of Sneasel’s attack would be 95/10 + 5 = 14.5 which ~ 14
The base power with the Choice Band would be the same as without it, 14.5.
In this case, Choice Scarf would be the best Item out of the three options.
Edited because the formulas were wrong, now corrected with the help of Bulbapedia.
