1. What is the Pokemon Damage Formula?

The Pokemon Damage Formula calculates the amount of damage a Pokemon move will inflict on an opponent. It takes into account the attacker's level, attack stat, move power, defender's defense stat, and various modifiers.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Pokemon damage formula:

\[ Damage = \left(\left(\frac{2 \times Level}{5} + 2\right) \times Attack \times Power \div Defense \div 50 + 2\right) \times Modifier \]

Where:

\( Level \) — Attacking Pokemon's level (1-100)
\( Attack \) — Attacking Pokemon's attack stat
\( Power \) — Move's base power
\( Defense \) — Defending Pokemon's defense stat
\( Modifier \) — Various damage modifiers (type effectiveness, STAB, etc.)

Explanation: The formula calculates base damage considering level, stats, and move power, then applies modifiers for type effectiveness and other factors.

3. Importance of Damage Calculation

Details: Accurate damage calculation is crucial for competitive Pokemon battling, helping trainers predict outcomes and make strategic decisions during battles.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the attacking Pokemon's level, attack stat, move power, defending Pokemon's defense stat, and damage modifier. All values must be positive numbers.
