Technician Ability
Technician is a Pokémon ability that multiplies the base power of moves that are 60 base power or less by 150%, or 1.5x. This means that moves like Quick Attack, with a base power of 40, get raised to 60 if the Pokémon using it has Technician.
Technician does not affect moves that would increase base power to above 60 with a secondary effect. For example, Avalanche would benefit from Technician, since it has a base power of 60, but if the Pokémon got hit before it got a chance to attack, the doubling from Technician would not be applied. The final power of that move would be 120, not 180.
