Does technician boosts payback/avalanche?

From what I recall, only when they're unboosted. Same for all other moves like Hidden Power, they're only boosted when the power is 60 or under.

thanks slowflake

Would this mean that it may be preferable to use Hidden Power BP 60 on a Special Persian? I know people will run Icy Wind because it gets the boost and the effect is very beneficial.

It almost seems like a great candidate to use HP over Hypnosis for better coverage - maybe HP Ground, since Lanturn and Magnezone are the only ones that resist Boltbeam.

Maybe it can work, feel free to try it. Big problem is, such a quick Hypnosis makes it quite a bit easier to set up that Nasty Plot (as long as it connects of course), AND it ruins one of the opponent's Pokés.

I was told Technician doesn't boost Hidden Power, no matter what the Base Power is.

I've used HP Ice Persian, yes, it works if the power is 60. The only thing Icy wind has going for it is the Spd drop
