Technician and Double Hit?

Question

Does it count as 35 base power or 70? So would Technician get the boost?

Answer 1

it counts as 35 each so yes technician will boost double hit. Each will be 52.5 adding up to 105 base power. The same concept goes for all multi-hit moves.

BETTER on Ambipom, might I add.

Just a little math thing, but either way, it gives you the same value.

35*1.5 +35*1.5= 52.5+52.5= 105

1.5(35+35)=(1.5)(70)=105

Multi hit moves will get the same power whether you add up the individual hits and boost it, or boost every individual move and sum it.

Answer 2

Techinician + Stab + Life Orb
Technician= 1.5
Stab (Same-type Attack Bonus) =1.5
Life Orb= *1.3
Fake Out= 40 BP
Double Hit= 35 BP Each Hit
Fake Out + Technician + Stab + Life Orb= 117 Base Power
Double Hit + Technician + Stab + Life Orb= 102.375 BP Each Hit, therefore in total for 2 hits is 204.75 BP
