I Think I May Have Discovered a New Way of Dealing the Most Damage Possible in Pokemon

[7acespades]

The premise is simple. Previous max damage records were set by power trick shuckle. However, with access to the new move Forest's Curse and the new ability Fluffy, I discovered that pokemon who are already 2 times weak to fire can be made sixteen times weak to fire. I sought to create a scenario where a pokemon will outdamage shuckle.

I'm just terrible at the math. Can someone who knows what they're doing help me out? Thank you in advance.

In a triple battle:

An adamant level 100 +6 attack 252+ (31 Attack IV) Darmanitan with the ability huge power (via skill swap) holding a metronome at maximum power (+100% boost) under the effects of two helping hands by two adjacent pokemon with the ability Flower Gift under sun attacks with a critical hit flare blitz vs a level 1 -6 Def Sandshrew-Alola (0 defense IV's and -Def nature) with the ability Fluffy and affected by Nature's Curse

How it would go down:

Max Attack Darmanitan
Darmanitan affected with 3 swords dances
Darmanitan given the ability Huge Power via skill swap
Sandshrew-Alola is at level 1 and at the absolute worst defense possible
Sandshrew-Alola is afflicted with Forests Curse, adding grass type to its typing, making it a ice/steel/grass
Sandshrew-Alola is affected by screech 3 times.
Sandshrew-Alola , via skill swap, is given the ability fluffy, making it weaker to fire moves.
Darmanitan, holding a metronome, uses flare blitz 4 times on four non Sandshrew-Alola pokemon
On the fourth flare blitz, one cherrim uses sunny day. This activates both of the cherrim's abilities Flower Gift.
On the fifth flare blitz, both Cherrim's use helping hand (goes first beecuse of priority) on darmanitan
Darmanitan's final Flare Blitz ends up as a critical hit, and is further boosted by sun.

I think this may end up a little short, but what do you guys think?

I found a math error in your calculations. Fluffy halves the damage from all contact-based moves (including Fire) so Flare Blitz only does 1x damage vs. Fluffy, not 2x.

(Coincidentally, this is also the reason I had so much trouble taking down that Bewear in Sun/Moon.)

Would it work by replacing darmanitan by Typhlosion with flash fire bonus using metronome with a full HP eruption under sun+all the other stuff suggested here?

 

[Stratelier]

Let's see... ignoring the actual attack/defense stats involved in the calculation let's just figure everything else out first.

Eruption = 150 base power
Add: Sunny weather (1.5x), Flash Fire (1.5x), Forest's Curse (2x), Fluffy (2x) = 9x

These modifiers are more or less unique to Fire type attacks; for comparison, the only modifier unique to the Rollout strategy is using Defense Curl (2x).

Modifiers shared between Eruption and Rollout are STAB (1.5x), 4x super effective, and a critical hit (1.5x).

First Smeargle (or any Pokemon with nasty plot) raises its special attack to maximum level, and baton passes this to Typhlosion.
Max. Special Attack Typhlosion.
Typhlosion is hit by a fire type move, activating flash fire
Sandshrew Alola is at level 1 has worst special defence possible (it should be noted that sandshrew-a's special defence is 1/3 of its defence).
Sandshrew-Alola is affected by forest curse, making it ice/steel/grass.
Sandshrew-Alola is affected by metal sound 3 times.
Sandshrew-Alola is given fluffy via skill swap.
Typhlosion, holding metronome, uses eruption 4 times on non-sandshrew Pokemon, bringing eruption's power to 300.
On the fourth eruption, a Cherrim uses sunny day.
Typhlosion's eruption is boosted by sunny day, ends up as a critical hit and hits Sandshrew.

@7acespades I think in your case cherrim's flower gift is irrelevant since it raises the special stats, not physical ones.

But what if all that was countered via Mirror Coat through the magic of outrageous foresight?

The target will be OHKOed (since focus sash won't deal max. damage) so it won't be able to use mirror coat.

The target will be OHKOed (since focus sash won't deal max. damage) so it won't be able to use mirror coat.

But the Mirror Coat would still theoretically deal more damage than was received

So long as Countering moves exist, there'll always be a stronger attack, no matter how many modifiers you stack on

Either way it's a OHKO

That scenario is sort of impossible theoretically.
*Eruption set proposed here used by Pokemon A*
*Pokemon B holding focus sash used mirror coat* [point to be noted: counter won't be executed if focus sash is not held]
Let us assume Pokemon B has 70 HP. Then the dealt damage to Typhlosion will be (69x2).

(69x2) is much less than what my Typhlosion set would do. So, mirror coat will be at max able to deal (Pokemon's HP-1 x 2) damage.
