Trump Card
NormalSpecial
Trump Card inflicts more damage when fewer PP are left, as per the table. The power is calculated based on the PP remaining after the move has been used; this is to account for the ability Pressure which deducts 2 PP for each move. If Trump Card is selected via a different move such as Metronome or Sleep Talk, it uses the PP of that move to determine the power.
