Attack/Defense Rank Bonus: Pokemon deal more damage based on the relevant Attack stat, and take less damage based on the relevant Defense stat. For each rank between 1 and 5, a Pokemon gets a Bonus of 1.5. For example, a Pokemon with Rank 4 Atk would get an Attack Rank Bonus of 4*1.5=6, while the defending Pokemon with Rank 2 Def would get a Defense Rank Bonus of 2*1.5=3. Exceptions to this rule are as follows:

• Pokemon with Rank 0 Atk/SpA have an Attack Rank Bonus of -1.
• Pokemon with Rank 0 Def/SpD have a Defense Rank Bonus of -1.
• Any Rank above 5 adds 1 to the Rank Bonus instead of 1.5. For example, a Pokemon with Rank 6 Atk would get an Attack Rank Bonus of (5*1.5)+1=8.5
