Increases by 21% of your Sp. Attack

Not only will the item give a bonus of (40/50/60) to the Move, it will also have an additional increase in damage by 21% of the Pokemon's Sp. Attack stat.

8 Second Cooldown

This item goes on an 8-second cooldown after taking effect. It's important to take note of this cooldown as your moves won't always deal additional damage.

Damage Bonus Only Affects 1 Pokemon

If you are using an AOE Move, you will only affect one of the opposing Pokemon that gets hit by the Move. The rest of the Pokemon that were also hit will take the normal amount of damage of the move.

Damage Bonus Does Not Increase Healing

The damage bonus effect does not increase the HP recovered when using healing moves.

Choice Specs Test

Bonus Damage Test

Goals Scored Total Damage Move Damage Bonus Damage
0 3201 2725 476
1 3216 2737 479
2 3230 2748 482

4 3261 2772 489
5 3276 2784 492
6 3291 2796 495

For this test, we verified how much damage bonus Choice Specs gives per move. We equipped Gardevoir with a Lvl.30 Choice Specs and a Lvl.1 Sp. Atk. Specs (Special Attack +8 per goal), and took note of how much damage Future Sight deals with those items.

The result shows that, with 0 → 6 goals scored, the damage increased by 48 (8x6), and the additional damage has increased by 19. The damage depending on the Special Attack is 19 ÷ (48) ≒ 0.396. In this case, the bonus damage Choice Specs gives is about 40%.

This test is to determine the time it takes for the bonus damage to take effect again after an initial activation. After testing, we found that it has an 8-second cooldown.

Multiple Targets Test

Choice Specs Mr. Mime

We also tried using an AoE move like Psychic to grouped enemies like the Vespiquen and Combees in the middle of lanes. Even if the move hits 4 enemies at the same time, the bonus damage only affects only 1 enemy.

This test is to determine if the bonus damage effect also increases the HP recovered by moves. After testing, we found that the bonus damage effect does not increase the HP recovered by moves.

Healing Only Increased Due to the Sp. Atk. Boost

Much like Wise Glasses, the HP recovered only increased due to the Sp. Atk. stat boost from the item.

I’m curious. Does the item (and cooldown) activate with a non offensive move? I.E. if U use Agility with Mew does Choice Specs activate and enter Cooldown?

7 Anonymous @Game8over 2 years

Hello! Since Choice Specs' effect has a cooldown of 8 seconds after activation, only the first hit of Petal Dance and Hyper Voice will get the bonus damage. Any move damage dealt while Choice Specs is on cooldown will not get the bonus damage.
