Effect Summary

Deals more damage when the user has less HP stat img remaining, with a maximum of 200 power.

Detailed Effect

Reversal deals damage. The power is increased when the user's HP stat img is lower.
On a technical level, the damage calculation works by multiplying the current HP% with a base multiplier and grouping the result in ranges, but for practical purposes this can be ignored.
The following table shows the power and HP stat img thresholds:
Power % of maximum HP stat img
20 above 68.75%
40 between 68.75% and 35.42%
80 between 35.42% and 20.83%
100 between 20.83% and 10.42%
150 between 10.42% and 4.17%
200 below 4.17%
  • In Gen 2 Reversal can not cause critical hit stat img and is not varied by a random factor during damage calculation.
  • In Gen 4 the HP stat img calculation is slightly different:
    The table below shows the exact amounts:
    Power % of maximum HP stat img
    20 above 67.19%
    40 between 67.19% and 34.38%
    80 between 34.38% and 20.31%
    100 between 20.31% and 9.38%
    150 between 9.38% and 3.13%
    200 below 3.13%
