A key part of teambuilding is tweaking your Pokémon’s stat spread so you achieve the optimal stats to survive the right attacks and grab the right knock outs. To do this, players play around with the effort values, natures, and other attributes on their Pokémon in a damage calculator until they reach the desired results. We have many articles written about this subject. The most widely used damage calculator for the past two generation has been Honko’s in-depth implementation. Honko put a lot of time into listening to the wants of our community, but it is designed to handle Smogon’s many custom formats. As a result, it can be more painful to use for those who are only interested in playing the Standard format used in the Pokémon Championship Series.
Today, we’re proud to introduce the Nugget Bridge Pokémon Damage Calculator! It takes the amazing work that Honko — and later gamut — put in to make the most comprehensive damage calculator available and streamlines it for those interested in the Video Game Championships (VGC). Pokémon default to level 50 and Doubles is selected as the default format as well. Additionally, all sets from Smogon have been removed to declutter the Pokémon selection process. In their place, we’ve inserted the most common stat spread, nature, item, and moves for each Pokémon from Pokémon Showdown to make for quick defaults to calculate for or against. These will be updated on a monthly basis as a result of Tapin’s awesome work.
If you see anything that looks off or have a suggestion, please make a post in our feedback thread.
Note: Where you select Mega Pokémon has changed. If you select a Pokémon that can mega evolve, a Forme field will appear under Type for you to easily choose the non-Mega or Mega forme so you can see how the same spread works for both formes of the Pokémon.
