[Laughing kookaburra]

had my LV27 lamball did a 9999999 dmg by using implode on Lv23 goblin but it didn't die ? it took a small amount of dmg, is this a bug ?

The 999999 damage is the damage Lamball took, not the Gobfin.

This.

Skills such as that one basically does a crap-ton of damage to the Pal using it so as to ensure that they get incapacitated and unable to battle no matter what, as per the skill mechanic, while only doing a moderate amount of damage to those hit (230 base power, modified by the Attack stat and "Damage from Pals Multiplier" setting, and of course reduced by the target's Defense stat).

I think OP expected the imploding lamball to do more damage to what it was attacking.

The 9999999 damage...did it collapse into a black hole? Also that's the damage it took from imploding (damage dealt to self, not target)
