So TheReflexWonder texted me something interesting today, saying that he thought up of a legit 81x Damage Multiplier he can set up on a Parasect under the right conditions. I did the math, and he was right. His inspiration? Pokemon Stadium 2. "If a Pikachu holding a Light Ball got a critical hit on a Gyaradose..." So this is his idea:

81x Multiplier on a Parasect
(Using any fire type starter)
- Parasect is 4x's weak to Fire.
- Dry Skin leaves it 2x's weak to Fire.
- Critical Hits are 2x's.
- STAB is 1.5x's.
- Sunny Day is 1.5x's.
- Blaze (Fire starter's ability) is 1.5's.
- Choice Specs are 1.5's.

This leaves the Parasect, under the right conditions, taking 81x's damage.
If this were a 2v2, your second Pokemon could use Helping Hand, making it 122x's.

Of course it would take setting up, and a bit of luck, but it's definitely something cool to think about. You think we can come up with anything equally as ******? O:

If by "Grass Knot is the Best Move Ever" you meant "Grass Knot is Broken," it probably would belong in there. If I'd of read that before >>; But it's whatever now, lol.

But this would at least be playable on a Pokemon that's equal in level. O:

I'm sorry to ruin the multiplier by dividing it in half, but Dry Skin isn't a 2x weakness to fire. All it is is that it takes 25% extra damage from Fire attacks. Lets say Flamethrower does 345% to Parasect. With Dry Skin, it won't be 690%, but it will be 370%.

When they say 25% more, they mean multiply by 1.25.

So in other words, the OP's multiplication is wrong.

Redoing the math, the multiplier for that is actually 50.625X. However, I have a fun idea with Porygon2.

Specs Porygon2
Download

Sleep Talk
Sunny Day
Conversion
HP Fire

All right, here's how it works. Porygon2 switches in on a poke with a Sleep move and higher Defense than SDef. Then, it Sleep Talks Conversion to Fire Type OR Sunny Day as the opponent switches Parasect in. Then, it Sleep Talks the other move. Finally, it uses HP Fire for a critical hit.

Download: 1.5x
Parasect's weak: 4x
Dry Skin: 1.25x
Conversion pseudo-STAB: 1.5x
Choice Specs: 1.5x
Sunny Day Boost: 1.5x
Critical Hit: 2x

Total: 50.625%

So yeah, highest legit amount: 50.625 without stat boosts.

SUPER IMPORTANT EDIT!!!
I found a way to achieve 202.5x multiplier! All right. Take Sariku's example, make it a Physical poke, and have it be Intimidated six times and sun be set up, not to mention that it's at low health and holding a Choice Band.

Parasect's weak: 4x
Dry Skin: 1.25x
STAB: 1.5x
Choice Band: 1.5x
Sunny Day Boost: 1.5x
Critical Hit: 2x
-6 Negation: 4x (+-6 is */4, respectively)

Total: 202.5x

Let's see anyone top THAT. I'd like to note that this is not a stat boost; it is an ability effect which was activated multiple times without using a stat-up move.

Nah... that doesn't count in the multiplier. However, I suppose that it would have to be lv.100 Adamant Blaziken 252 Atk EV's shooting a Flare Blitz or Blaze Kick up a Lonely 0 HP 0 Def 0 IV's Paras' butt.

Again, if you're gonna do that might as well go max Atk Ho-oh using Sacred Fire.
