>>46475240Normal doesn't factor in, because it changes nothing. I could add it in, but it would just always be a "*1" tacked onto the end of the equation.
>>46475243It's better to add up all the 2* s, and all the 0.5* s, then multiply, rather than just multiplying one after anouther. Because of how the multipliers are supposed to related to the base number.
How to exaplain this....
The goal of a supereffective move is to multiply the damage by 2, so if a move is super effective multiple times, would you:
(A) multiply one multiplier by the other multiplier, then multiply that by the damage
(B) multiply the damage by one multiplier, then multiply the damage by the other multiplier
(C) add the one multipler to the other multiplier, the multiply that by the damage
None of them are wrong necessarily, but C is the most correct, and B is the least correct because of how the multipliers related to the base numbers. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm not a great teacher.
