critical hit would ignore risen ATK, confirmed from testing with evidence

[Hahahaka]

I was fighting Erika boss

my Crawdaunt used dragon dance 6 times

it one hit beat Ludicolo, Volcarona and Shiftry

but only do less than half of HP damage to Torterra with a critical hit

my Crawdaunt could out-speed Torterra at that turn

that means the risen speed was remained

but risen ATK disappeared

Torterra doesn't have Unaware ability

that's impossible to do that less damage

 

 

update:

I tested it, it is confirmed that critical hit would ignore risen ATK

boss are broken yeah, crits deals less damage on them, and they do less damage on us with crits also, what happened?

My guess is that after the first big update coming lately, they added them perfect nature and evs on bosses pokemon.

I noticed many changes, doing them every 12 days since years.

Now they outspeed more poke, they hit stronger and they tank better.

yeah i guess, i make bosses everytime i can, and like u said i noticed some handle more hits than before, but its not normal that crits make less damage than without crit

+6 252 Atk Life Orb Adaptability Crawdaunt Crabhammer vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Torterra: 746-879 (189.3 - 223%) -- guaranteed OHKO

 

That's jolly Crawdaunt vs a +defense nature with full evs on def and hp. Sure, this is lvl 100 but I really doubt those extra 20 levels buff it so much.

 

+6 252 Atk Life Orb Adaptability Crawdaunt Crabhammer vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Torterra on a critical hit: 1118-1318 (283.7 - 334.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

 

Here's what a crit does to a lvl 100 Torterra. There might actually be a bug here unless they buffed bosses beyond a normal amount of base stats or evs.

Was fixed last update.
