Light of Ruin is a Fairy-type move introduced in Generation VI. It is the signature move of the Eternal Flower Floette, an unreleased Event Pokémon.

Description[]

Effect[]

Light of Ruin deals damage. The user receives recoil damage equal to 1/2 of the damage done to the target as well.

Calculating the recoil damage after it hits:

${\displaystyle \nu_{LightOfRuin} = \beta_{currentHP} - \frac{rand(140)}{2}}$

Where:

• ν (nu) is the damage recoil calculation
• β_current (beta) is the user's current HP
• rand(140) is the randomised damage from Light of Ruin between 1 to 140. However, if STAB (Same-attack Type Bonus) is taken into consideration, then the damage is increased twice to the original, making it between 1 to 280.
