Is there any difference in damage per IV

So if two of the same pokemon have the same move set but one is 100%IV. The other is low IV. When they attack does the attack do the same damage?

if the attack stat of the low iv mon is below the break point it can affect damage.
If health is lower it means you can't soak damage and hence may miss out on squeezing out a last charge attack.

What do you mean break point?

Depends on every single match-up.
If they are the same level, the one with higher IV will sometimes perform better.

Ok what I'm asking is if each hit is the same no matter what the IV is. Does each hit do the same damage?

No. Attack damage depends on tge attack being used and the attack stat of the attacker. Higher Att IVs will lead to a higher attack stat and therefore higher damage output

No
The damage done is dependant on 3 things...

The level of the pokemon
The attack stat of the pokemon...inc IV
The defence level of the defender...inc IV

The damage done by any particular mon against any other mon is determined by all 3 factors.
So level, Att IV and Def IV are all deciding factors.

HP stat, just gives you more HP at specific break points

No one is answering the question, maybe no one knows, I know I don't know. So again if everything is the same except for the IV is the damage dealt out the same or less for the pokemon with the lower IV say one is 15/x/x. The other is. 8/x/x. Same move sets on each.

I think it has been answered.

Anyway, i can give my view of it...maybe its the specific answer yo are looking for?

Higher attk stat means more dmg...this is what allows certain pokemon to deal more dmg than others, glass cannons exist due to their stong attack.

Otherwise every other crappy low tier
pokemon with confusion+Future sight could deal exactly the same amount of dmg as alakazam per attack lol

(per attack...not overall as im disregarding hp/defence and how long they can survive/how many attacks they can get off before fainting)

The charge move is where the dmg scaling has more effect i think. As the dmg numbers can get allot higher. Where as most quick moves the dmg is single digits...once the break point is reached from powering up..it can end up doing the same dmg for pokemon eith different attk ivs eventually, one ill just need to hit a higher lvl to do so.

So considering the attk stat improves dmg, and attk IVs increase a pokemons attack stat...yeah obviously its going to help.

Only to a certain extent though, as we are talking an adition 15 points onto a pokemons attk stat maximum. 15 compare to the overall attack stat, which may be in the hundreds already, an extra few single attk ivs is not a huge deal...so its not the most noticable thing (but it does help)..however also it effects other things such as cp and break points etc

So...yeh, dunno if that makes any sense or helps

If you think no one has answered, then I will simply say, yes, it is entirely possible that IV can impact on the damage done or damage taken by your attacker.

SOMETIMES the higher IV will do more damage, it all depends on the specific matchup. I think others have tried to explain...

Yes, by the example you just provided, in CERTAIN matchups the higher IV will do more damage. For example, YES it will do 8 damage with its fast move and the lower atk IV will do 7.

Sometimes the higher IV will do more damage with the quick move. MOST of the time, the higher IV will do more damage with the charge move.

Yes, agree also true... actually, ALMOST ALWAYS for the charged moves you could say.

It's funny people like to just define the mechanics of damage without answering these types of questions. The truth is nobody knows and they want to sound smart.

For instance, obviously the defending pokemon matters. But for the F&C%ing sake of hypothetical questions assume the defender is the same in both scenarios. Don't just reply and say the defender matters. Not helping.

It's funny how people try to have something to say about other peoples answers...but then they go on to prove they have no idea what so ever what they are talking about.

Just because you don't know, you don't need to assume no one else does.

Ok thanks I think I'm have my answer. So the damage chart listing what damage per second each move delivers. Is only for upper level pokes. So a level 20 dragon would do less damage per hit than a level 30 dragon with the same move even if they were both perfect IV100%

What you see on charts are generally base stats that are subjected to various multipliers.

This is a different question than your original OP...

1st you were specifying ONLY different IVs, now ONLY different LEVEL, but SAME IVs... are you trolling?

Of course the L30 will do more damage than the L20.

No just trying to understand why the same move does more damage if the pokemon has high IV verses less damage on with one that has low IVs I get that a high IV guy can have a higher CP. and be leveled up higher so I still don't get it but I except that he'll do more damage everything else being equal

This is very much true without a doubt.

The change to damage done at a level change is where the CpM table comes in.
CpM is part of what makes up how much damage you will do with each move in a specific fight.
