Spidops ex attacking for more damage than it should've

ChanseyChanSEE · April 15

I was in a match where my opponent had Spidops ex on the Active Spot and I had Iron Hands ex in mine. My opponent attacked with Wire Hang. Iron Hands ex has 4 Colorless Energy in it, so based on Spidops ex's attack, it should have dealt 210 damage; however, the game showed Spidops ex dealing 270 damage instead. I checked to see if they had any abilities from other Pokemon, items, etc that would've given it a boost, but I didn't see any on the bench nor in play.

Damage calculation should have been as follows:

Iron Hands ex's Retreat Cost = 4x Colorless Energy

Spidops ex's Wire Hang attack = Base damage 90+, 30 more damage for each Colorless energy in opponent's Active Pokemon's Retreat Cost.

4 Colorless Energy x 30 damage = 120 damage , then add the 90+, which is 210 damage.
