If the opponent was poisoned, would Acid Downpour (upgraded from Venoshock) do more damage?

Question

So, I was wondering if Venoshock (base 65) would double damage (if target is poisoned) and then double again because of the Z-Move upgrade. So, would it go from 65 to 130, and then from 130 to 260?

Comments

Z-Moves don't double the power of moves. Z-Moves cap out at 200 and their minimal damage is 100.

I was wondering about that, never actually kne until now. Does that mean Z-Explosion is useless?

No, it isn’t useless. Sure, it does less damage but it doesn’t kill itself. 200 BP Z-Moves can be very useful.

Answer 1

252+ SpA Seviper Acid Downpour (120 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tapu Koko: 452-534 (160.8 - 190%)
252+ SpA Seviper Acid Downpour (120 BP) vs. (poisoned) 0 HP / 4 SpD Tapu Koko: 452-534 (160.8 - 190%)

So no.
