Detailed Breakdown

Blaze Black isn’t your average Gen 5 experience. Drayano’s ROM hack cranks up the difficulty with:

  • Edited Base Stats: Many Pokémon have buffed stats (e.g., Gym Leaders’ teams are significantly stronger).
  • Updated Movepools: Expect unexpected coverage moves (like a Fighting-type with Ice Beam).
  • Modified Abilities: Some abilities function differently, altering damage calculations.

Unlike vanilla Black & White, where damage rolls are predictable, Blaze Black’s damage formula requires precision. A standard Pokémon battle calculator won’t cut it—you need one calibrated for Blaze Black’s changes.

How to Use the Blaze Black Damage Calculator (Step-by-Step Guide)

Pokémon Blaze Black Damage Calculator helps you predict damage before committing to a move. Here’s how to maximize its potential:

1. Attacker Setup

  • Species & Level: Input your Pokémon’s exact level (boss fights scale!).
  • Stats: Enter your Attack/Special Attack (or import via .txt for speed).
  • Move Power: Check if Blaze Black altered the move’s BP (e.g., Flamethrower might be stronger).

2. Defender Config

  • Boss Fight Adjustments: Gym Leaders and rivals have optimized EVs/IVs.
  • Held Items: Leftovers, Berries, and type-boosting items change outcomes.

3. Battle Conditions

Blaze Black introduces unique scenarios:

  • Custom Weather/Terrain: Some bosses start with permanent rain or sand.
  • Crit Mechanics: The hack tweaks crit rates—factor this in!

Warning: Don’t forget Held Items! A misplaced Choice Band ruins your OHKO plan.

3 Advanced Tricks Only Pros Know

1. Hitting OHKO Thresholds

Problem: “Cheren’s Snivy outspeeds and stalls me!”
Solution:

  • Use the Blaze Black OHKO thresholds to ensure your move KOs.
  • Example: Adjust your IVs to hit 29 Speed EVs, guaranteeing you outspeed.
252 Atk Guts Heracross vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Snivy: 87.6% - 103.2% (93% chance to OHKO)  

2. EV Optimization Hacks

  • Dump unnecessary EVs into bulk if a boss always survives with 1 HP.
  • The Pokémon battle calculator reveals exact breakpoints.

3. Beat Up Move Calculator Tactics

  • Beat Up’s power scales with team size—use it with Justified Lucario for sweeps.
  • Input each teammate’s Attack stat for precise damage.

FAQs

Does Blaze Black change type weaknesses?

Yes! Some Pokémon have altered typings (e.g., a Water/Dragon Gyarados). Always verify in the hack’s documentation.
