Take Down

Take Down is a -type move introduced in Generation I that inflicts damage to the user after successful usage. It has been TM09 since Generation I. In Generation IX, it is TM001 for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.
==Description==
== Effect ==
Take Down deals damage, which will deal 1/4 of the damage back to the user.
Calculating the recoil damage after it hits:
\nu_{TakeDown} = \beta_{currentHP} - \frac{rand(90)}{4}
Where:
*ν (nu) is the damage recoil calculation
*β_current (beta) is the user's current HP
*rand(90) is the randomised damage from Take Down between 1 to 90.
For instance, if Take Down deals exactly 90 damage with the Pokémon's current HP being 216, the HP calculated after it hits:
\nu_{TakeDown} = 216 - \frac{90}{4}
\nu_{TakeDown} = 216 - 22.5 
\nu_{TakeDown} = 193.5 
\nu_{TakeDown} \approx 194
