Key Features Explained

STAB Calculator

When a Pokémon uses a move matching its type (like Pikachu using Thunderbolt), it gets a 1.5x damage boost. Our tool applies this automatically.

Type Effectiveness

Simply select whether your move is:

  • Super effective (2x or 4x)
  • Not very effective (0.5x or 0.25x)
  • Neutral (1x)

Specialized Move Support

We calculate damage for unique moves including:

  • Low Kick Damage Calculator – Weight-based power
  • Heat Crash Calculator – More damage against heavier foes
  • Grass Knot, Heavy Slam, and other weight-dependent moves

Critical Hits & Random Factor

Toggle critical hits (1.5x damage) and see minimum/maximum damage ranges (85%-100% of calculated damage).

The Pokémon Damage Formula (Simplified)

For those who love the math:

Damage = (((2×Level/5 + 2)×Power×Attack/Defense)/50 + 2)×Modifiers

Modifiers include:

  • STAB (1.5x)
  • Type effectiveness (0.25x-4x)
  • Critical hit (1.5x)
  • Weather (0.5x or 1.5x)
  • Other (burn, items, abilities)

Good news: Our calculator handles all this math for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does STAB work in Pokémon?

Same Type Attack Bonus gives 1.5x damage when a Pokémon’s type matches its move (e.g., Water-type using Surf).

What’s the highest possible damage?

Combine 4x type effectiveness + critical hit + weather boost + STAB for massive damage!

Does burn affect special attacks?

No – burn only halves damage from physical moves.

Can I calculate OHKO chances?

Yes! Our Pokémon KO Chance Calculator feature shows OHKO/2HKO probabilities based on damage ranges.

How accurate is the Low Kick/Heat Crash calculation?

Our Low Kick Damage Calculator and Heat Crash Calculator use official weight brackets for precise results.
