Do PLA / LZA use different damage calcs?

Question

I don't know if I'm crazy, but I feel like when I'm usually playing PLA sometimes ZA, low-level Pokemon can still net massive damage.

My Lv. 82 Palkia took at least like 40 HP damage from a Lv. 30 BIDOOF. (PLA)

This is just a speculation, I could be insane.

Comments

Yes they do.

I definitely heard that ZA uses a damage reduction on non-Plus Moves compared to the turn based mainline games because of how fast the battling is, but I know that doesn't answer your question
