Frequently Asked

How does the Pokémon Damage Calculator work?

+

The calculator uses the official Pokemon damage formula: ((2×Level/5+2) × Power × Atk/Def) / 50 + 2, multiplied by STAB, type effectiveness, and a random factor (0.85–1.0). Results show the min-max damage range.

What is STAB in the Pokémon Damage Calculator?

+

STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) gives a 1.5× damage multiplier when the move type matches one of the attacker's types. For example, Pikachu using Thunderbolt (Electric move) gets STAB because Pikachu is Electric-type.

How is type effectiveness calculated?

+

Type effectiveness is based on the official Pokemon type chart. Super effective moves deal 2× damage, not very effective moves deal 0.5×, and immune types take 0 damage. Dual-type defenders can have multipliers of 4× or 0.25×.

What does OHKO and 2HKO mean?

+

OHKO means One-Hit Knock Out — the move deals enough damage to defeat the defender in a single hit. 2HKO means it takes two hits. This helps you understand if a Pokemon can be defeated before it gets to attack.

Does this calculator account for abilities and items?

+

This calculator uses base stats only and does not factor in abilities (like Huge Power), items (like Choice Band), or EVs/IVs. It gives a baseline estimate of damage output for quick comparisons.
