How it works in Champions
Hits one time for the user and one time for each unfainted Pokémon without a non-volatile status condition in the user's party. The power of each hit is equal to 5+(X/10), where X is each participating Pokémon's base Attack; each hit is considered to come from the user.
“The user gets all party Pokémon to attack the target. The more party Pokémon, the greater the number of attacks.”
