Technician

Summary

Technician is an ability in the Pokémon series that enhances the power of weaker moves, making it highly valuable in competitive battles. Specifically, Technician boosts the Base Power of moves that are 60 or lower by 50%. This increase allows Pokémon with this ability to utilize otherwise weaker moves to significant effect, thus broadening their strategic options.

For example, a move with a Base Power of 60 would get a boost to 90, substantially increasing its effectiveness. Moves like Bullet Punch, Mach Punch, or even utility moves like Hidden Power (when it was available with a power of 60), become more formidable under the influence of Technician.

Pokémon with Technician: - Scizor: Often uses Bullet Punch to capitalize on its priority and Technician boost for potent strikes. - Breloom: Utilizes Mach Punch for a priority move that hits harder. - Ambipom: Commonly known for using moves like Fake Out and Double Hit effectively due to
