Detailed Mechanical Explanation

For Discord/reference use

Unown Power is a hybrid ability that combines two distinct effects:

Mystic Power Component (STAB on All Moves)

• Effect: Grants Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) to ALL moves, regardless of type matching
• Implementation: Uses .onStab = +[](ON_STAB) -> int { return TRUE; } which always returns TRUE for STAB calculation
• Benefit: Every move gets a 1.5x damage multiplier, making the Pokémon extremely versatile offensively

Super-Effective Hidden/Secret Power Component

• Effect: Forces Hidden Power and Secret Power to deal super-effective (2x) damage against all targets
• Implementation: Uses .onAfterTypeEffectiveness callback that checks if the effectiveness multiplier is less than 2.0x for these specific moves, then forces it to 2.0x
• Mechanics: if (*mod < UQ_4_12(2.0) && (move == MOVE_HIDDEN_POWER || move == MOVE_SECRET_POWER)) *mod = UQ_4_12(2.0);

Move Details

• Hidden Power: Special move with 80 base power, variable type based on IVs (EFFECT_HIDDEN_POWER)
• Secret Power: Physical move with 80 base power, Normal-type with variable effects (EFFECT_HIDDEN_POWER)
• Both moves become universally super-effective (2x) with this ability

Overall Impact

• Total Multiplier: Hidden Power and Secret Power get both STAB (1.5x) AND super-effective (2x) = 3.0x total multiplier
• All Other Moves: Get STAB (1.5x) regardless of type
• Strategic Value: Transforms Unown into a versatile attacker with guaranteed effectiveness on signature moves

Pokémon with This Ability

• Unown (Revelation Form): A legendary variant with enhanced stats (138 Attack/Special Attack, 133 Defense/Special Defense)
• Ability Slot: Innate ability (always active alongside other abilities)
• Tier: Tier 1 legendary Pokémon

Restrictions

• Randomizer Banned: This ability is marked as randomizerBanned = TRUE, preventing it from appearing on random Pokémon during randomizer runs
• Form-Specific: Only available on the special Revelation form of Unown, not regular Unown forms

This ability effectively makes Unown Revelation a formidable special attacker with guaranteed super-effective coverage through Hidden Power and Secret Power, while maintaining offensive presence with STAB on all other moves.
