Return's base power after being traded.

[Porygon]

How strong is the base power of Return right after it's traded and reset?

Approximately how long on a fast bike would it take to bring Return back to it's max power?

Just trying to determine which game to train a team on. If it takes too long to max out Return I might go against the additional trade exp boost. Thanks.

When a Pokemon is traded, Return resets to the power it originally would've had when the Pokemon was first caught.

Biking for half an hour would probably restore most of it.

The base happiness of a Pokemon is around 70 when it's reset, which would give Return a base power of 28. To get Return up to full power (102) would take 47360 steps or 23680 if the Pokemon is holding a soothe bell.
