Chrom's sword isn't balanced?

I was using Chrom in training mode, and I had Bowser Jr. as the opponent set. Maybe it's just a Bowser Jr. mechanic, but upon doing D-throw to F-throw, the Smash attack did around 21%. When I did Pummel, D-throw, f-smash, the smash attack only did 19%. It was also happening with utilt, 11% and 14%, and dash attack, 12% and 16%.
UPDATE: It may be an RNG type mechanic, or combo mechanic. I did 3 dash attacks in a row, and on the third I got 16%. I tried performing this again with Mario and nothing happened. I'll try with Lucina since her sword is balanced too.
Update 2: Lucina does the same thing. 11% is the normal dash attack against Bowser Jr. but her third one does 15%. However, her dash attack usually doesn't do 11.5%.

Final Update: I'm an idiot. I was in the Lucina discord and found out you do less dmg against his cart.

isnt this just staling?
and also aerials out of shorthops do less damage and in combos moves do less damage than only using the move i guess
