Effects

Stored Power deals varying damage based on the user's stat increases. It starts at base power 20 and increases by 20 for each net stat boost the user has received, including Evasion and Accuracy. In other words the power is:

20 × NumIncreases + 20

For example, if the Pokémon used Dragon Dance and Double Team once each, that is a total of 3 stat increases (+1 Attack, +1 Speed, +1 Evasion) and Stored Power's base power will be 20 × 3 + 20 = 80.

The maximum it could reach (although impractical) if all stats are fully boosted is 20 × 6 × 7 + 20 = a massive 860 base power. (This does not include other boosts - here the Pokémon would have a +6 Special Attack boost meaning a 4× multiplier, plus STAB for most of the Pokémon that can learn Stored Power.)

Z-Move effects

When a Pokémon is holding Psychium Z and uses its Z-Power, Stored Power turns into Shattered Psyche and has base power 160.
