Pokemon with a high Attack stat will excel at using Physical moves, while Pokemon with high Special Attack will excel at using Special moves. Each of these stats determine how effective a Pokemon is in that area. When looking at this stat view above, we are presented with six numerical values (HP/Atk/Def/SpA/SpD/Spe). Lucky for us, the most recent Generations have done a great job at teasing the behind-the-scenes work, allowing us to estimate things without relying on pen and paper. Though these stats are being displayed to you just as past games do (a simple number for each of the Pokemon’s six stats), there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that you may not be familiar with. When you select a Pokemon in your party, you’re presented with a clean and easy to read summary sheet. Get ready to learn some Pokemon math, and how it applies to the competitive game! Stats? Like the Ones On My Screen? While we may want to dive right into selecting members for our team, there are a few topics worth discussing before doing so. Sun teams have been a tried-and-true win condition over years of Pokemon, so where better to begin. Of teams currently seeing play, Sun is going to be the main focus of the Pokemon 101 Team Building discussion. If basing your decision HP alone doesn't settle it for you, look at the species' base stats on the link I provided above.Last time, in Planning My Team, we discussed the VGC 2018 (VGC18) format, and began looking at the various archetypal pillars. Given Lapras' inherent tankiness, Lapras is a better choice than Cloyster. In the case where both know Hyper Beam, though, they are equally valid choices, since with STAB, Hyper Beam is the most powerful move in the game.įor another example, I'll compare Lapras and Cloyster, both Ice/Water types.Ī level 9.5 Cloyster with 500 CP (roughly mid-range) can have between 41 and 47 HP.Ī level 6.5 Lapras with 500 CP (roughly mid-range) can have between 87 and 92 HP. IVs aside, this low level Snorlax will most definitely tank more hits than the Raticate with equal CP. I did a calculation via the Silph Road IV Rater to show this:Ī level 13.5 Raticate with CP 500 (roughly in the middle) can have between 53 and 61 HP.Ī level 6.0 Snorlax with CP 500 (on the high end) can have between 102 and 107 HP. For example, a Snorlax will typically last longer than a Raticate due to its very high HP and Defense. However, Pokemon with exceptional values in some stats may outperform other species. Two Pokemon with the same CP tend to perform roughly the same, ignoring movesets and typing. To see which one is objectively better, use the Silph Road research page. Is there a way to use this spreadsheet so that it can do this kind of comparison? Or is there other spreadsheet/tool/website where I can do this comparison? Thus, I would need to compare #2 and #3, which are different levels, but the same CP. To get maximum prestige, I would want to use Pokémon that has around 550 CP. The spreadsheet enables me to compare #1 and #3, so even without understanding what all these ratings exactly mean, I can easily see that Snorlax is far superior to Raticate both defensively and offensively, which is something I would guess just after seeing their CP (1250 vs 550).īut assume, I need to train a gym with Pokémon around 1100 CP in it. Raticate (Bite, Hyper Beam), level 15, CP 550.Snorlax (Lick, Hyper Beam), level 7, CP 550.Snorlax (Lick, Hyper Beam), level 15, CP 1250.Let's assume, I have following three Pokémon: Let me give an example (to simplify things, let's ignore IV or attack types for now): But for the sake of efficient gym training, I would need to compare different Pokémon with the same CP. I am familiar with the Pokémon GO Species/Moveset Analysis Tool spreadsheet, which is very helpful, when one wants to compare movesets of one Pokémon or to compare different Pokémon on the same level.
