The damage that this move deals is selected at random, varying between 0.5x and 1.5x the user's level, with the result rounded down to a whole number. The damage dealt is calculated using the formula:

X * (N + 50) / 100

where X is the user's level and N is a randomly-generated number between 0 and 100. (note that damage dealt cannot be less than 1.)
The damage dealt to the target is also typeless, ignoring weaknesses/resistances to the move's type, but does not ignore immunities to same.

In a triple battle, this move may target anyone facing or adjacent to the user.
