How can I tell what would be more powerful for my Ampharos: Thunderpunch (75 base damage with a base Attack stat of 75) or Thundershock (40 base damage with a base Special Attack stat of 115.)
Assuming the EVs in both stats are 0 (since I'm grinding on Audinos to raise one for an ingame team) what's the formula to determine which move is better for Ampharos's base stats? Is it simply adding the two values together such as:
>Thunderpunch: 75 base damage + 75 base attack = 150
>Thundershock: 40 base damage + 115 base special attack = 155
Or am I just retarded and missing some multipliers (didn't count STAB since they're both electric moves making it irrelevant.) I'd really like to know for future reference the formula for figuring out situations like this. Thanks /wfg/.
