quick question

[Sapphire luvr]

Which of these does more damage:
Critical hit or Petaya Boost?

 

[Midnight Lucario]

critcal hit with petaya berry

EDIT: yay, new rank!!!

 

[starterlover1]

It depends. Firstly, the power of the attack. Secondly, petaya boosts only special attacks, so don't use it with physical.

 

[ditto_luva]

That depends what attack you used.

 

[WhiteWizard42]

no it doesn't. even with a special attack, a critical hit does twice the damage and petaya only multiplies it by 1.5

if you can reliably get a crit, it does more. petaya isn't as based on luck, though, since you don't have to get the 1/16 chance of a CH.

I mean if the attack is a psyical attack Petaya Berry won't do a thing.

Im using it on my Shiny Sceptile.
attacks are:
Leaf Blade
Dragon claw
Thunderpunch
endure (His hidden Power is steel and it's impossible to get l-seed or crunch on a starting Treecko)

I was wondering if I should use Petaya or Lansat even though Lansat isn't automatic.

 

[WhiteWizard42]

on an enduring sceptile, i'd prefer the petaya.

lansat makes you crit 1/4 of the time, but petaya gives you a 1.5 boost on all your attacks, all the time. they both activate at the same HP range, too.
