Effect
Backstab inflicts damage and has no secondary effect. The base power of Backstab is dependent on the friendship of the opponent. The greater the opponent's friendship, the greater the base power. The base power can be calculated using the following formula:

Base Power = Friendship / 2.5

The base power of Backstab varies between 1 (minimum friendship) and 102 (maximum friendship). The base power is set to 1 if the formula outputs 0.
