Darkrai L.40 – Darkness – HP80
Basic Pokemon

[C] Dark Direction: 10 damage. You may switch the Defending Pokemon with 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon. (Your opponent chooses the Benched Pokemon to switch.)
[D][D][C] Sleep Hall: 40 damage. If the Defending Pokemon is Asleep, this attack does an additional 40 damage. If it isn’t Asleep, the Defending Pokemon is now Asleep.

Weakness: Fighting (+20)
Resistance: Psychic (-20)
Retreat: 1

So I was juat wondering, with Darkrai's second attack, if the defending pokemon isn't asleep, would Darkrai put it to sleep and do 80 damage, or put it to sleep and just do 40?

Thanks in advance.
 
You do the attack in order of the text. You check if it's asleep, if it is, the attack does 40 more damage. If it isn't, the attack does the base 40 damage and the defending pokemon is now asleep.

edit: Wow! We're so quick :p
