Be more specific.
The power depends on foe's stats, obvsiously how strong the attacker is compared to the foe.
Or did you mean what it does exactly? If one of your pokemon knows Punish why don't you just see for yourself?

Because it's nearly imposible to calculate. Observe the expression bellow

a-(b+h)=d
A= attack power
B=(sp) Defense
H= Health
D= Dammage

As you can see there are to many variables to calculate the exact base dammage.

BTW last time I checked Smogon dosn't have any info on the 4th gen.

Actually that's pretty easy. If only there were a constant(number) for each variable.

i found it out thanks to inazuma ans smogon:
basically, the power of Punish is 60. Every time your opponent boosts a stat, the power of Punish increases. The formula is a bit complex but basically you multiply .25 by every amount of boost for each stat (from 1 to 6), add 1, then multiply all these numbers together. So, say an opponent had a Dragon Dance, a Scheme, and two Acid Armors. The power would be:

60 * 1.25 (ATK, from the D) * 2 (DEF, from the Acid Armors) * 1.5 (SAT, from the Scheme) * 1.25 (SPD, from the DD) = 281.25.

The best application is against any booster except DEF-boosting ones (Bulk Up, Curse, Acid Armor) - fortunately, this includes the good majority of them (Swords Dance, Calm Mind, Agility/Rock Cart, Scheme/Tail Glow, Dragon Dance). The trick is getting decent power out of it. After one double boost, it's already more powerful than Crunch; after two it's either at 120 or 135.

Okay, now, the trick is finding a good user of it. A couple Dark types get it - Weavile, Skutank, Absol. You can also use it on Ho-oh to beat up various ubers - let Kyogre get those 6 Calm Minds, then hit it with a 375 power attack.

Smogon said:
Punish: Its original base power is 60. However, if the target has any boosted stats (stats that have been reduced are ignored), then its power is multiplied by (1 + 0.25x) for each stat, where x is the number of levels in each boosted stat. It has a maximum base power somewhere between 180 and 200 BP. For example, a Pokemon that has used Dragon Dance twice will have four boosted levels - two in Attack, two in Speed. Therefore Punish's new base power will be 60 * (1 + 0.25(2)) * (1 + 0.25(2)) = 135.
