:Conversely, the slower the foe is, they'd just as well be a type resistant to Steel attacks. There's a formula to calculate the damage in relation to both speeds, and it would a good idea to post it in the article, but I don't know it. All I know is it maxes out when your speed is 1/6 of the foe's (or was it 1/16?). -[[User:Juunannio|Juunannio]] 1:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Contradiction

In-Game Description: "The user tackles the foe with a high-speed spin. The slower the user, the greater the damage." Article Description: "Gyro Ball is a Steel-type move introduced in Generation IV that power depends on foe's speed."

I think it depends on the difference between the speed of the defender and the attacker. The slower the attacker is compared to the foe, the more powerful the move is. --TTEchidna 23:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
