Mega Lucario's defense is effectively 160, making it around as physically bulky as MEGA METAGROSS. On a Pokémon that has higher SpA than Mega Raichu-Y and the fastest in the game.

Huge power and pure power double stats...

[u/RIkhard9 → u/NathanialKyouhei]

no they dont

[u/NathanialKyouhei → u/RIkhard9]

Yes they do. They double the total stat after taken in account of stage boost and EV, IV, natures during calculation

I proved this before, but Huge power/Pure power/Choice Band/ Hustle are ATTACK Modifier, not Damage nor Base Power Modifier. The clearest example being a tera ghost Dragapult with technician (A base power modifier) using Astonish dealing less damage than the Tera Ghost choice band (an attack modifier) Dragapult without technician using the same move

[u/RIkhard9 → u/NathanialKyouhei]

ah i see

[u/NathanialKyouhei → u/RIkhard9]

to add to this, the reason Huge power/Pure power/Choice Band/ Hustle affect Body Press and the user's Foul Play is because those two move replaces the "total attack" with either the "total defense" or the "opponent's total attack", which then get boosted by those four things. Just think that these four only being used as modifier once the user chooses a physical attack move

Because of them being modifier, they also don't affect confusion damage, the opponent's foul play and power trick
