Statistics

Statistics, also known as Stats for short, are values that apply to a Pokémon's abilities in battle. These values determine such factors as: damage given, damage received, which Pokémon acts first, etc. Most stats are affected by the individual Pokémon and their level, while others are exclusive to battle and moves. Some Effort Values determine the amount that stats grow when leveling up.
==List of stats==
===Health Points===
Hit Points, HP, is a value that determines how much damage a Pokémon can receive. When a Pokémon's HP is completely down to 0, the Pokémon will faint. HP is the most frequently affected stat of them all, as depleting HP is the key factor in winning a battle. There are several ways to replenish a Pokémon's HP such as using items like Potions or in-battle moves like Rest or Synthesis. The average base HP for a Pokémon is 68, while the average base HP for a fully evolved Pokémon is 80.
HP is depicted as a long, horizontal bar that changes color according to how much HP the Pokémon has left along with numerical values showing the current and total HP. When a Pokémon's HP is full or above 50%, the bar will appear green. Below 50% but above 20% will cause the bar to appear yellow, while below 20% with the exception of 0% will cause it to appear red.
===Attack===
Attack is a value that determines how much damage a Pokémon will cause to the opponent while using a physical move. The average base Attack for a Pokémon is 75, while the average base Attack for a fully evolved Pokémon is 90.
===Defense===
Defense determines how much damage a Pokémon will resist when hit by a physical move. The average base Defense for a Pokémon is 73, while the average base Defense for a fully evolved Pokémon is 83.
===Special===
Before Special Attack and Special Defense, there was a stat called Special that represented both Special Attack and Special Defense. In Generation I games, there were types that signified if the attack was physical or special. By Generation II games, the "Special" category separated and created a more accurate system by creating the Special Attack stat and Special Defense stat. Another change appeared for special attack when Pokémon Diamond and Pearl was released. The system now refers attacks that are special to involve some kind of energy to harm the target without making physical contact.
===Special Attack===
Special Attack, abbreviated as Sp. Atk, is a value that determines how much damage a Pokémon can cause while using a special move. The average base Special Attack for a Pokémon is 69, while the average base Special Attack for a fully evolved Pokémon is 83.
===Special Defense===
Special Defense, abbreviated as Sp. Def, determines how much damage a Pokémon will resist when hit by a special move. The average base Special Defense for a Pokémon is 69, while the average base Special Defense for a fully evolved Pokémon is 83.
===Speed===
Speed is a value that determines which Pokémon will act first during battle. Generally, the Pokémon with the higher Speed will be the one to attack first. The average base Speed for a Pokémon is 66, while the average base Speed for a fully evolved Pokémon is 78. If one Pokémon uses a move such as Quick Attack, Speed values are no longer a factor. If both Pokémon use such a move, the factor that determines who will act first is reverted to the Speed stat. If two or more Pokémon's Speed stat are the same, one of the Pokémon will act first in a random order each turn.
===Accuracy===
Accuracy is a percentage value that determines the chance of a Pokémon's attack hitting the opponent. Accuracy values, unlike the previous stats, are not based on an individual Pokémon and cannot be increased permanently by leveling up or by vitamins. During a battle, the accuracy stat for each Pokémon is at 100% and can be decreased by moves such as Sand Attack. While the Accuracy stat affects all of a Pokémon's moves, it is not the same as an individual move's Accuracy Rating.
===Evasion===
Evasion is a percentage value that determines the chance of an opposing Pokémon's move missing. The Evasion stat for each Pokémon at the start of a battle is at 0%. If the stat is decreased below 0% with a move such as Sweet Scent, then the opposing Pokémons' move will have a larger chance of hitting. If the stat is increased above 0% with a move such as Double Team, the opposing Pokémon's move will have a smaller chance of hitting.
==Formula==
From Generation III onward, a Pokémon's stats are calculated as follows:
*HP = floor(0.01 x (2 x Base + IV + floor(0.25 x EV)) x Level) + Level + 10
*Other Stats = (floor(0.01 x (2 x Base + IV + floor(0.25 x EV)) x Level) + 5) x Nature
Note that "floor" denotes the floor function. "Base" denotes the base stat for that stat.
Because of these formulas, no matter how low a Pokémon's base stats are, the lowest that a Pokémon's Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, or Speed can ever be is 5 (or 4 with a hindering nature for said stat). Any Pokémon other than Shedinja will always have at least 11 HP at Level 1, and will always gain at least 1 HP any time it levels up. The only Pokémon that ignores these formulas is Shedinja, whose HP stat stays at 1 regardless of level due to programming.
In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, a similar yet distinct formula is used instead for calculating a Pokémon's stats. Minimum values remain unchanged but maximum values are substantially higher, as the formula includes awakening values instead of effort values. Unlike effort values, awakening values are outside the body of the formula, so their impact is independent of the level, allowing for absurdly high stats even on low-leveled Pokémon.
==Stat Modifiers==
During a battle, stats such as Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Evasion and Accuracy can be raised or lowered by a move or by an Ability, either by 1 stage, 2 stages or 3 stages a turn. The maximum increase or decrease in a stat is 6 stages.
Outside of battle, certain items can permanently increase a Pokémon's stat. Examples of permanent stat modifying items include:
*HP Up, which increases HP.
*Protein, which increases Attack.
*Iron, which increases Defense.
*Calcium, which increases Special Attack.
*Zinc, which increases Special Defense.
*Carbos, which increases Speed.
*Mints, which mimic the effects of Natures boosting and hindering stat.
==In spinoff games==
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, a Pokémon's HP is critically low if it falls below 25% of its maximum. If this happens, Overgrow, Blaze, Torrent, and Swarm double (prior to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity), or increase by 50% (from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity onward), the damage dealt by Grass, Fire, Water, and Bug moves, respectively, used by the Pokémon. The set of dialogues when talking to team members in dungeons also depends on their HP percentage.
==Trivia==
*At Level 50, the formulas for stats become simple. The minimum HP for Level 50 can be calculated by adding 60 to the base HP stat for that species. For example, Blissey, which has a base HP stat of 255, has a minimum of 315 HP at Level 50, because 255 + 60 = 315. Similarly, the maximum HP for Level 50 can be calculated by adding 107 to the base HP stat, so Blissey has at most 362 HP at Level 50.
*The Pokémon with the highest base HP is Blissey. The Pokémon with the lowest base HP is Shedinja.
*The Pokémon with the highest base Attack is Mega Mewtwo X. The Pokémon with the lowest base Attack are Happiny and Chansey.
*The Pokémon with the highest base Defense are Shuckle, Mega Aggron, and Mega Steelix. The Pokémon with the lowest base Defense are Happiny and Chansey.
*The Pokémon with the highest base Special Attack is Mega Mewtwo Y. The Pokémon with the lowest base Special Attack are Shuckle, Feebas, Alolan Sandshrew, and Bonsly.
*The Pokémon with the highest base Special Defense is Shuckle. The Pokémon with the lowest base Special Defense are Magikarp, Weedle, Caterpie, Stonjourner, Igglybuff, Carvanha, and Deoxys (Attack Form).
*The Pokémon with the highest base Speed is Regieleki. The Pokémon with the lowest base Speed are Munchlax, Pyukumuku, and Shuckle.
*It is impossible for a stat that is benefitted by a nature to have a value that is congruent to 10 modulo 11 (such as 21, 76, or 208). This is due to the way the floor function is prioritized in the stat formula, as the number is truncated before the 1.1x multiplier is applied. For example, it is impossible for a Pokémon with a Jolly nature to have 76 Speed, because 69 with a neutral nature becomes 75 (69 x 1.1 = 75.9) and 70 with a neutral nature becomes 77 (70 x 1.1 = 77).
