I was checking out items for my physical Jekyllight (i know, iknow) and first decided to use a Fight Crystal. After using it for a while i remembered that the item Razor Claws said it gave a 30 percent power boost so i swapped it with my crystal wich only gives a 25 percent boost. Now i was just testing items and comparing damage output with different items so i could get the one wich gave the most. Now here's the funny thing, while i was slaughtering Knittens with a lvl100 Jekyllight i noticed that i got more damage out of wearing the Fight Crystal and using Concentration Strike than when i got from the Razor Claws...
Can anyone explain this? Did i miss something?

I'm not sure of my answer... but yeah

...Fight crystal increases the damage done using fighting type moves
...On the other hand, Razor claw increase the damage done by physical move types
Now, if the move and the type of the monster are equal, that will deal 1.5x more damage
Since it doesn't, it stays at 1x damage
Increasing the physical attack of the move... that's 165(30%) which is roughly 215 base power
Using Fight crystal, that's 165(25%) which is around 205 base power
With this, we can deduce that having a razor crystal is better than any gem

What's my point?
It's clear that you do more damage, but you deal a lower damage.
There are two factor that effect this:
1. The ability and the defense of the opposing monster
2. Luck
Yes, luck. The damage dealt won't be exactly be like that every fight. So... that covers it.

P.S. The move "concentration strike" doesn't exist

Lol sry i meant concentration punch ^^

Also i know the factors Ramza but no matter how many time i tried the damage would >ALWAYS< be higher with the crystal than with the the razor claws wich it shouldn't...
So i was wondering if i might have missed something...
Almost 200 Knittens were sent to the grave so i know it can't be all lucky shots as you claim...

there is also randomization factor at damage

are you guys still having problem ?
