Effects

The power of Frustration is higher when the Pokémon likes its trainer less. The base power varies between 1 (maximum Friendship) and 102 (minimum Friendship). The exact formula is:

Power = (255 - Friendship) ÷ 2.5

Pokémon Friendship (aka Happiness) is a value between 0 and 255 (more details).

Frustration is the counterpart move to Return.
