While playing on Pokemon Lab I used the move Brave Bird with my Skarmory on my opponent's Machamp. Machamp lost 2% HP, yet the recoil of Brave Bird was 23%!
Here is the log for that turn. Neither Machamp nor Skarm had any status affliction. My Defence stat, however, was at -1.
Skarmory used Brave Bird!
It's super effective!
Machamp lost 1/48 (2%) of its health!
Machamp fainted!
Skarmory was hit by recoil!
Skarmory lost 80/334 (23%) of its health!
