Does the BP increase causing the damage to increase, or is the game coded to just increase the damage output by 33.3%

by
Is their a difference in the outcome?
If it increases BP then electro drift becomes the highest BP electric type move which means I need to edit an answer on this site.
The damage calculation also does a few weird rounding calculations. I think this makes a damage boost more effective than the same base power boost.

Best answer

After a bit of research, I have found that Electo Drift and Collision Course are treated as Multipliers the same way STAB and Super Effective are. They get their own spot in the damage calculation equation, namely, the "other" spot. So to directly answer the question, it's more correct to say that it increases the damage they do.

Interesting. Thanks!
If your using a phone, zoom in how you normally do, on a windows computer hold control and scroll. I've no idea about a mac though. I'd assume command and scroll but I don't know.
