Stats

Okay Pokemon Has 5 Stat Categories:

Attack:

This deals with all power based attacks

Defense:

This helps your Pokemon protect against Attacks

Special Attack:

This has to do with strength of Elemental attacks E.g Fire Spin, Hydro Pump, Solar Beam

Special Defense:

Like Defense Special Defense is for protection however it protects against Special Attack

Speed:

This shows how fast a pokemon is this has a lot to do with what pokemon attack first and the such.

Health

Health is calculated easily by using this:

Baby : Level * 2 = HP
Stage 1: Level * 4 = HP
2nd Stage/Non-Evo: Level * 5 = HP
3rd Stage/Evo-Item: Level * 6 = HP

Damage

Damage is figured out by using this equation:

First you go to serebii to figure out the base attack power of the move you are using then you divide it by 10 and round down. SO if Earthquake is 100 Base then it will be 10.

[BASE ATK. POWER] + [ATTACK] - [DEFENSE] * [EFFECTIVENESS] = [DAMAGE]

This is same for Sp.Atk and Sp.Def just they are swapped with attack and defense.

Okay lets do this:

A Rattata is using Scratch on a pichu: Rattata has the ATK. of 5 and Pichu has a DEF. of 4, the Base Atk. of Pound is 40 so it will be 4 also normal moves are normally effective against electrics so effectiveness is 1:
