How it works in Gen VII
The power of this move is based on the amount of PP remaining after normal PP reduction and the Pressure Ability resolve. 200 power for 0 PP, 80 power for 1 PP, 60 power for 2 PP, 50 power for 3 PP, and 40 power for 4 or more PP.
“The fewer PP this move has, the greater its power.”
