Hi. I would like to understand better why some Legendary/Mythic pokes have buff on dmg (sometimes great buff) and some others dont.
Before I disclose dmg of them, I will post here what is conventioned as "standard" damage for each strong aoe attack mechanic (considering super effective).
Lava Plume-like: 2-2,3k (random nr of hits)
Blast Burner-like: 2x3k = 6k
Flame Blitz-lke: 3x2k = 6k
Fiery Tornado-like: 3x2k = 6k
Burning Jealousy-like: 2.6k (random nr of hits)
Magma Storm or Ice Shards-like: 6x1k = 6k
Breakwind Storm-like: 1x6k = 6k
Hail (unique mechanic): 2x3k = 6k
Fire Lash-like: 1x6k = 6k
Searing Shot-like: 2x3k = 6k
Bitter Malice-like: 4x1.5k = 6k
Zap Cannonade: 2x3k = 6k
Shadow End: 4x1.5k = 6k (couldnt match it with any other mechanic but its not very different from bitter malice for ex)
Now the dmg of the pokes

There are some more special pokes like Elder Zard, C Onix, Red Gya, Ash Greninja, Golden Rhydon, Big Cruel, Big Onix etc but I stuck to the canon mythical/legendary ones.. but I think same should apply to them
Its clear to me that few of them have correct buff (green), some are overly buffed (blue) and some should have its dmg improved (red). I know in some cases we have abilities that buff atks like Reckless and Soul-Heart but IMO this shouldnt be considered cause all pokes have abilities (f Darkrai ) and each ability yields a benefit, so you shouldnt take this into account just cause some of them impact directly on dmg
Last but not least, I'd like to suggest that u change this policy of adding 100 base dmg to each hit of the attack as a buff for being shiny or legendary or mythical or cloned or special or whatever. Cause it creates big distortions on actual improvements. For example Adding 100 base dmg on each hit of atks like Ice Shards or Magma Storm means a buff of 20% (600/500) overall. As for adding 100 base dmg to attacks like Breakwind Storm means a buff of 3% (3100/3000). Increasing 10% dmg makes much more sense
Hope u at least read and think about what I've wrote cause it took me some time to do it and its very frustrating to see how some pokes should be much stronger than currently are. Best regards
