Effects

Beat Up deals damage from each Pokemon on your team that does not have a status ailment (or is fainted). The power of Beat Up is calculated as:    UsersBaseAttack ÷ 10 + 5.

Beat Up will also receive any boosts from the originating user, such as STAB and any applicable items. Although each Pokemon on your team supposedly attacks, the actual power and effects of each hit are based on the original user only - any items held by your team do not affect the damage dealt.

As an example, if a Weavile, who has a base Attack stat of 120, used Beat Up, each hit would have base power of 17. If you had 6 able Pokemon on your team, the total base power would be 102.

Changes

In Generations 1-4, Beat Up deals 10 base power typeless damage from each able Pokemon.
