Tags: pokemon-diamond-pearl-and-platinum, battle-system, in-depth-guides, after-the-attack

For most successful attacks, the following effect order is used:

1. Use
2. Chople Berry and the like
3. Critical hit message
4. Anger Point
5. Endure
6. Show "It’s "super effective" or "It’s not effective", as applicable
7. "If this attack is successful" effects
8. Additional effects
   • An additional effect won’t occur on a target if it has zero HP remaining, but will occur on its user (such as Metal Claw’s additional effect) even if the target is defeated.
9. Rage
10. Ability effects, using the ability the target/user had when the damage was dealt
11. Enigma Berry, Jaboca Berry, Rowap Berry, Sticky Barb
12. The target faints if it has 0 HP
13. The target thaws out if attack is a Fire-type attack
14. Life Orb/Shell Bell (only if attacker has at least 0 HP)

For Selfdestruct/Explosion/Memento, the above effects resolve for each target before the user faints.
