Take Down is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation I that inflicts damage to the user after successful usage.

Effect

Take Down deals damage, which will deal 1/4 of the damage back to the user.

Calculating the recoil damage after it hits:

$\nu _{TakeDown}=\beta _{currentHP}-{\frac {rand(90)}{4}}$

Where:

• ν (nu) is the damage recoil calculation
• β_current (beta) is the user's current HP
• rand(90) is the randomised damage from Take Down between 1 to 90.

For instance, if Take Down deals exactly 90 damage with the Pokémon's current HP being 216, the HP calculated after it hits:

$\nu _{TakeDown}=216-{\frac {90}{4}}$
$\nu _{TakeDown}=216-22.5$
$\nu _{TakeDown}=193.5$
$\nu _{TakeDown}\approx 194$
