The bonus damage effect of Muscle Band is done after the attack, not at the same time. You're essentially doing damage twice in one attack.
The bonus damage dealt decreases as the Defense stat of the target Pokemon increases.
Completing the tutorial (Basics 1 and 2) will award players with a free Muscle Band or 1000 Aeos Coins if it has already be purchased.

This test is to determine how the bonus damage from Muscle Band is calculated. We used a level 30 Muscle Band on Machamp, then recorded the first non-critical hit on 4 different Pokemon. After testing, we've found some interesting things.
HP and Defense | Bonus Damage Dealt |
---|---|
![]() HP: 5152 | Def: 250 |
![]() 101 Damage |
![]() HP: 5152 | Def: 250 |
![]() 101 Damage |
Expected Damage: 5152 x 0.03 = 154.56 |
The first set of Pokemon we tested on have the same HP and Defense stat at level 15. We found that the bonus damage dealt on both Pokemon are the same.
The expected damage is ~155 but results show 101. From this, we can deduce that there is something affecting the bonus damage dealt.
HP and Defense | Bonus Damage Dealt |
---|---|
![]() HP: 6300 | Def: 290 |
![]() 120 Damage |
![]() HP: 6300 | Def: 175 |
![]() 175 Damage |
Expected Damage: 6300 x 0.03 = 189 |
The second set of Pokemon we tested on have the same HP but different Defense stat at level 15. We tested if the Defense stat affects the bonus damage dealt. We found that the bonus damage dealt on the Pokemon with the higher Defense stat was lesser than the one dealt on the other Pokemon.
The expected damage is 189 but results show 120 and 175. From this, we can now conclude that the Defense stat is the factor that is affecting the bonus damage dealt.
Based on the result of both tests, we can conclude that the bonus damage from Muscle Band is affected by the Defense stat and are inversely proportional. Therefore, the higher the Defense stat, the lower the bonus damage dealt.
It's important to note that we do not know how the exact calculation for the Defense stat.
