Advanced Pokemon Stats

In Pokemon Go, every Pokemon species has 3 Base Stats:

• Attack
• Defense
• HP

In the main series, every Pokemon species has 6 Base Stats: HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed.

Base Attack in Pokemon Go is calculated with the following formula:

$$BaseATK = \frac{1}{4} Lower(Attack, Sp.Attack) + \frac{7}{4} Higher(Attack, Sp.Attack) * SpeedMultiplier $$

• The lower value between Attack and Special Attack (in this case, Special Attack) is multiplied by ¹⁄₄.
• The higher value between Attack and Special Attack (in this case, Attack) is multiplied by ⁷⁄₄.

Base Defense is calculated similarly:

$$BaseDEF = \frac{3}{4} Lower(Defense, Sp.Defense) + \frac{5}{4} Higher(Defense, Sp.Defense) * SpeedMultiplier $$

• The lower value between Defense and Special Defense (in this case, Defense) is multiplied by ³⁄₄.
• The higher value between Defense and Special Defense (in this case, Special Defense) is multiplied by ⁵⁄₄.

The Speed Multiplier is calculated as follows:

$$SpeedMultiplier = 1 + \frac{Speed-75}{500}$$

Base HP is calculated with this formula:

$$BaseHP = Floor(50 + 1.75*HP)$$

Putting this together, we get the following values for Snorlax:

• Base Attack = (¹⁄₄(65) + ⁷⁄₄(110)) * (1 + (^{30 - 75}⁄₅₀₀))
• Base Attack = 190
• Base Defense = (³⁄₄(65) + ⁵⁄₄(110) * (1 + (^{30 - 75}⁄₅₀₀))
• Base Defense = 169
• Base HP = Floor(50 + 1.75 * 160)
• Base HP = 330

And again, here are Snorlax's base stats in Pokemon Go:

IVs are added directly onto a Pokemon's base stats and multiplied by the CP multiplier (explained below) to get the Pokemon's actual stats. Actual stats are what's used in damage calculations when your Pokemon is fighting.

• Actual Attack = (Base Attack + Attack IV) * CP Multiplier
• Actual Defense = (Base Defense + Defense IV) * CP Multiplier
• Actual HP = (Base HP + HP IV) * CP Multiplier

For example, here are Rayquaza's base stats:

A Level 40 Rayquaza with IVs of 0/0/0 will have the following actual stats:

• Actual Attack = (284 Base Attack + 0 Attack IV) * 0.79030001
• Actual Attack = 224
• Actual Defense = (170 Base Defense + 0 Defense IV) * 0.79030001
• Actual Defense = 134
• Actual HP = (213 Base HP + 0 HP IV) * 0.79030001
• Actual HP = 168

And a Level 20 Rayquaza with IVs of 15/15/15 will have these actual stats:

• Actual Attack = (284 Base Attack + 15 Attack IV) * 0.59740001
• Actual Attack = 179
• Actual Defense = (170 Base Defense + 15 Defense IV) * 0.59740001
• Actual Defense = 111
• Actual HP = (213 Base HP + 15 HP IV) * 0.59740001
• Actual HP = 136

If we have the base stats, IVs, and Level for a Pokemon, we can calculate its CP:

• Attack = (Base Attack + Attack IV)
• Defense = (Base Defense + Defense IV)
• HP = (Base HP + HP IV)

For example, a Level 20 Rayquaza with IVs of 15/15/15 will have the following CP:

---

As a game-balancing measure, any Pokemon whose max CP naturally exceeds 4000 has its base stats reduced by 9%.

Using the CP Formula for a Level 40 Rayquaza with IVs of 15/15/15, we get the following CP:

Since Rayquaza's max CP is over 4000, its base stats are all reduced by 9%:

• Base Attack = 312 * 0.91
• Base Attack = 284
• Base Defense = 187 * 0.91
• Base Defense = 170
• Base HP = 233 * 0.91
• Base HP = 213⁺

And again, here are Rayquaza's base stats in Pokemon Go:

⁺Base stats are converted to Pokemon Go from the main series, multiplied by 0.91, and then rounded.
