Detailed Mechanical Explanation

For Discord/reference use

Power Spot is a double battle support ability that provides a 1.3x damage multiplier to all attacks made by the user's ally. Key mechanics:

• Ally-Only Boost: The ability only affects allies, not the user itself (uses APPLY_ON_ALLY_ONLY flag)
• 30% Damage Increase: Provides a 1.3x multiplier to all offensive moves used by allies
• Universal Coverage: Affects all move types - physical, special, and status moves that deal damage
• Double Battle Exclusive: Only functions in double battles where there are allies present
• Persistent Effect: The boost is always active as long as the Power Spot user is on the field
• Stacks with Other Boosts: Can combine with other damage multipliers like STAB, type effectiveness, etc.
• Bypasses Protective Moves: The boost applies even if the ally is behind Substitute or Light Screen/Reflect

Similar to Battery (which only boosts special moves), Power Spot provides comprehensive offensive support but works on all move types. The ability is particularly valuable for supporting powerful but slow attackers or enabling otherwise moderate attackers to reach important damage thresholds.

Implementation details:

• Uses the onOffensiveMultiplier callback with MUL(1.3)
• Applied via the APPLY_ON_ALLY_ONLY flag system
• Activates during damage calculation phase
• No activation message or popup
