Maximum Leftovers Recovery (Rough Draft)

Alright so I am going to make it better by making lists. However it has everything and right now it is a reference point. The guide will show you every pokemon and how many evs it needs in hp to hit a certain point for maximum leftovers recovery.

Magic Leftover Numbers?:

The magic leftover numbers. You have heard of them. But what are they? Basically they are a HP number divisible by 16 from 304 - 704. This HP number will allow you to maximize your recovery from leftovers every turn. Here is a list of the leftover numbers.

304
320
336

Now lets actually see what Pokemon can adjust their HP to fit the leftovers number. This list will show the actually number with the Pokemon next to it, as well as how many EVs in HP they will need to accomplish this number:

I think that 16 + 1 is a better number for many Pokemon, in many cases it allows Pokemon to survive that one extra Stealth Rock switch in, one more turn before it dies to poison, and so on.

I think this is usually a bad idea because it means people tend to sacrifice actual defensive ability to get more Leftovers recovery (in other words, they take harder hits to gain 1 more HP, which doesn't really change much because it's still % that matters, not raw HP).

I don't think the Magic Lefties numbers are all that important because of the omnipresent Sandstorm. I do agree with IPL though, that if you are going to shoot for the magic lefties numbers, to go for 16 +1. Also, I could have sworn I saw this on Gamefaqs when I went on there for a few minutes aerlier today. Is the one who posted it on there your alt, or did you just copy/paste it from him?

"You have heard of them, but what are they?"
There should be a comma after them and before but.

Lastly, you should not have some of the "hp"'s capitalized and some lowercase.
 
It was my alt. I usually put things there that I want to get suggestions on before I send it to smogon.

I could redo the list to hit that 16+1 number. I guess that would probably be best. Right now its just a reference point for me.
 
+1 HP is always better. Having 3 HP > 2 HP > 1 HP > 0 HP.

However, to put it in perspective, having 320 HP >>> 319 HP for that 1 extra point of Leftovers...but you also die one turn sooner from Sand Stream + Poison damage, for example. So 321 HP >>>>> 320 HP >>> 319 HP > 318 HP > 317 HP...etc.

And over all that, being overall more efficient with defenses, as Obi touched on and as X-Act wrote about, is much much more important.
