In battle

Foe	Foe	Foe
User	Ally	Ally

This attack's power varies. The slower the player's Pokémon is, the more amount of damage the opponent gets.

The damage calculation for Gyro Ball is as follows:

$\kappa _{GyroBall}=25\times {\frac {TargetSpeed}{UserSpeed}}$

The possible damage that can be dealt ranges between κ = 1 and κ = 150.

In a Double Battle, Gyro Ball can target any Pokémon that's adjacent to the user.
