Attacks with No set PWR don't proc 'Super Effective' hits

[Backdownerfile]

My Gastly currently has Psywave and Night Shade as its primary damaging moves yet for example when I use Night Shade on a Physic Type it doesn't do increased damage. I am pretty sure that just because it doesn't have a fixed PWR value it shouldn't do basic damage, I'm guessing it works the other way around as well, say I should only do half the damage, it would probably still do 1x the Damage.

Yo, both moves you mentionned have a specific formula to calculate damages. Plus, they aren't meant to proc super effective bonus but are still affected by type interactions only with immunities. Also they cannot crit :

 

Night Shade : Doing damages equal to the user's lvl, so from 1 to 100. Same goes for Seismic Toss.

 

Psywave : LvlUser X(R +50) / 100. R is a random value selected by the game from 0 to 100.

                So 100 X(100+50) /100 = 150 damages which is the maximum you can achieve.

 

 

Hope it's clear for you now .

Oh my bad I figured they'd still function the same way as any other move when it comes to type interactions. Thanks for explaining
