Punishment Move Detail
Punishment is a Dark-type move with varying power and 100% accuracy. The move's power increases based on the number of stat boosts the target has accumulated, with each positive stat change adding 20 power, up to a maximum of 200. This makes Punishment particularly effective against opponents that rely on boosting their stats. However, if the target has no stat boosts, the move's power remains low. Due to its unique scaling mechanic, Punishment can be a strategic option in battles against setup-oriented opponents.
