Effect

In battle

Lernean splits the power of a damaging move across each head. The move hits "n" times and each hit's damage is calculated as follows:

Where:

n is the total number of heads that Hydreigon currently has, defined by its sprite,

d is the amount of damage calculated before applying Lernean,

r is the remaining number of hits to be executed. This number includes the hit that is currently being calculated.

If none of these attacks are negated or blocked by effects such as Substitute then the total damage multiplier that the attacker experiences is 1.15 + 0.075 × (n - 5).

Example: If the user's attack is calculated to deal 60 damage before applying Lernean while the user has 6 heads:

Outside of battle

Lernean has no effect outside of battle.
