It's not "whatever it needs to be", but we generally underestimate it. When you're outsped, it's accurate to consider it like a 200 BP move, with variance.

That said, I wonder how much para adds to the calc. Does para proc before of after the flinch, internally in the game mechanics?

Below was a very succinct and accurate calculation.

Not what I expected, but as an absolute fan of Gen II, I'm more than happy to get Cyndaquil, my favorite starter from the gen! Your Result: Cyndaquil Well, would you look at that! It seems a Cyndaquil wants to be your...

Sorry dude. Made this after a kind of a spur of the moment realization (don't worry my whole team didn't get flinched to death). Certainly the concept could be explained better. As far as the poll caption goes, I actually had hit the limit for poll question length.

Ding, ding! Before even thinking to calculate it as the sum of a converging infinite sequence, I had an intuition it might be close to double damage, (hence I voted 1.96), but I was way off. Technically our expected outcome is constrained by remaining PP, but not by too much. As long as you...

Bro you're overthinking it. We play a luck management (read gambling, if you want) type game. Imperfect information is another part of it. You mess with either aspect, and we're in the realm of literal cheating. We're talking about everyone going into a casino with loaded dice, or knowing...

PLEASE VOTE IN THE POLL BEFORE READING PAST THE OP, AND POSTING A REPLY ( Helps make the experiment a bit more valid, thank you. :) ) Situation and all caveats are described herein: Jirachi v slower opponent without priority or any move/ability allowing them to take an action before Jirachi (...

Hope they account for this shit with updated RNG. This is huge, and seems to have more impact in earlier gens if I'm understanding correctly? At it's core Pokemon is rendom numbers, so being able to consistently manipulate it could be a death knell for competitive simulator play.

I love your av

What up dude?

Knowing how things went down for Lavos later, does anyone else find this warstory... ironic? https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/predictions-skill-and-deceit-battle-of-smogons-finest.3483873/

So I take it for Pert then you could put nothing in speed to outspeed Blissey, as he has a higher base speed stat, and relatively little for Meta/Tar to outspeed Skarm?

Thanks mate. I like and will implement all of those suggestions during my set building. Only thing is with the skarm for met/tar, there really isn't an objective number to shoot for as you have same/lower base speed stat so no matter how much you creep you could always theoretically be at least...

I get that super advanced players really love the detail of speed tier charts, but as a beginner getting introduced to a gen I find them a bit intimidating for the sheer number of threats listed. A more beginning player is using it to speed creep their mons. I was given some good advice, that...

Your profile pic gives me nightmares.

Jesus, I will never forget this thing. I beat it with my own curselax, which happened to have Body Slam compared to Anabel's stronger Return. I lucked out, as the odds of getting the meaningful para hax are against the body slam user, I believe. Just an incredible mon, to cap off the incredible...
