Does earthquake split when hitting a flying Pokemon?

Question

If you were to use earthquake say, on groudon, and had a crobat out in a double's battle, would earthquake split the damage three ways (33.3-%) for each Pokemon, or since it can't hit crobat, does it just split twice (50%) for the two Pokemon in front of you?

Answer 1

Earthquake, along and other multi-target moves, has its power (not damage) multiplied by 0.75 if it hits more than one Pokémon. In this scenario, it would have 75 (100 times 0.75) power on the other two because it would miss our Crobat. The move’s power will not decrease any more after that, even if it hits more than two Pokémon.

If there are 2 opponents and one uses protect, will rock slide get the penalty when it hits the other?

It's probably better to ask a new question than posting your questions on another 6 year old answer.
