Recoil Damage

[Bob54321]

A small question about the calculation of recoil damage and absorbed health. Probably best explained with an example...

Say Take Down does 3HP damage, the the recoil is 3/4. Is this rounded down to zero or up to one?.

I have a suspicion that it is rounded up because low level pokemon take noticable recoil damage for doing 1HP damage but can anyone confirm this.

yes it is probably rounded up as recoil always takes place.

Yeah, I believe it's rounded up just as insignificant damage is rounded up. A level 5 Pidgey's Gust does 1 HP damage to a level 100 Onix, even though the number would be smaller than that.
