Simple question: Do Pokemon take more damage after you use items

It's part of the reason why competitive pokemon is an unsalvageable mess

No.

Tell me more

Most games usually have variable damage like this but I assume dPokemon didn't because moves always have an associated power listed with them. I just assumed they did their listed power and then factored in level difference, STAB, and type matchups

I've never heard of things like this.

However, I think there might be a random aspect to damage calculations. It'd explain what happened- one minute that hit would do, say, 93 damage and it'd be healed up, the next it'd do, say, 98 damage and be a 1HKO. If the situation was reversed, and you got 98 damage first, you wouldn't see the situation get played out.

Ive always noticed the same thing. Since Gen 1. If they healed their mon, i did more dmg the next turn

Every time a regular attack is executed, the actual damage caused is adjusted by a random multiplier - an integer percentage between 85% and 100%.
In Generations I and II, the random modifier does not have uniform probability for all percentages between 85 and 100. This is because the computer will generate a random number from 217 to 255 (217 is about 85.10% of 255), multiply it by 100, and then divide it by 255, to get the random number from 85 to 100 that the computer will divide by 100 to get the final adjustment.
As a result, the odd numbers from 85 to 89 and the even numbers from 90 to 98 have a 7.69% (3 in 39) probability of being chosen, while the even numbers from 86 to 88 and the odd numbers from 91 to 99 have a 5.13% (2 in 39) probability of being chosen. The number 100, the least probable number, has a mere 2.56% (1 in 39) chance of being chosen.
In all subsequent games, the random adjustment is determined by generating a 4 bit number (0 through 15). The computer then subtracts it from 100, and then divides the result by 100 to get the final adjustment. This results in the same integer percentage between 85% and 100%, with an even distribution of occurrence.
