"What is the maximum damage a move can do in Pokémon?"

Say you took Explosion which deals 250, and you’ve increased physical attack by the full 6 stages, you are using it with a Pokémon that is a normal type to give it STAB (so only Lickilicky) have it holding an item that increases the power of normal type moves (normal gem or silk scarf; whichever increases damage more) and used it on a Pokémon who’s Physical Defense has been lowered by six stages (and isn’t resistant to normal type moves), and executed that move? Think of how much damage that would do.I can do the math but I’m not sure when the 50% STAB bonus is multiplied, before, or after the bonus of the stat increase??? So either 1500 or 4000….Anyway, has anyone figured these numbers out? And what about a move with all that but can do super effective damage??? I think max base power other than Explosion is 180? V-Create, right? Can somebody find what the max damage can be done with everything in play above? via /r/pokemon https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/15wn3vn/what_is_the_maximum_damage_a_move_can_do_in/?utm_source=ifttt
