Payday
 
Hey,

I fought a geodude w my gengar. First i used shadow punch. Then geodude used rock throw. Then i used payback, but my payback only did about half the damage my shadow punch did. The attack of shadow punch is 60 & the attack of payback is 50. But payback says the power is doubled if i use it after the foe's attack. Does anyone know why it only did about half the damage shadow punch did?

Thanks

Err. Perhaps you went BEFORE Geodude? I believe Geodude has to go first and then you can use Payback. THEN it will do double.

Since Gengar is faster than Geodude, I think you went first, and since you went first instead of second, Payback only did normal damage.

Hope I helped and sorry if it's confusing.

And also, payback does 50 but Shadow Punch really did 90, because when you use a move that is the same type as you, its power is multiplied by 1.5.

Oh ok, thanks guys

No, not confusing at all. That was actually what i was thinking. I just thought, maybe since he attacked me the last turn it still counted. Guess not. Thanks for clearing that up.

I guess payback isn't the best move for gengar then, cause he's one of the faster pokemon.

Yea Gengar is known for being extremely fast, partly why many people put him in their party. So a move that requires it to go second would rarely have its effect activated.
