How to read Pokemon Champions calculations and data

PoCham Lab explains its public tool assumptions before you calculate. The calculators do not expose level, EV, IV, or general Pokemon stat modes; they read Pokemon Champions fixed stats and SP allocation.

HP / SP

The HP calculator checks fixed chip and recovery breakpoints.

Burn, poison, bad poison, sandstorm, Stealth Rock, Spikes, Leftovers, and Sitrus Berry are compared against Pokemon Champions HP values.

  • Users tune HP SP and current HP conditions instead of entering level, EV, or IV values.
  • The goal is not a generic Pokemon stat formula; it is a quick read of practical HP ranges in Champions.
  • Use the result to judge how many chip events a build survives and whether recovery changes the next turn.
Speed Line

The speed calculator compares neutral-max and positive-max benchmarks.

For the selected Pokemon, nature, and Speed SP, the page shows which common speed lines it can outspeed.

  • Paralysis, Tailwind, and Choice Scarf are applied to the current selection when enabled.
  • A speed tie is not a confirmed outspeed and should remain a risk in selection decisions.
  • Extra Speed SP is most useful when it crosses a real benchmark, not when it only increases the number.
Type Matchup

Read the type chart before ability and item exceptions.

Find the attacking move type by row and the defending single type by column. For dual types, multiply both modifiers.

  • Abilities, items, weather, field effects, and Terastal conditions are separate from the type chart.
  • A weakness does not automatically invalidate a Pokemon; bulk, speed, and move pressure still matter.
  • Use the chart as a map of risks that deserve calculator checks.
Sample Invariant

A sample build is reliable only when its required fields are complete.

PoCham Lab treats a public sample as complete only when it has four unique moves, total SP 66, item, nature, and ability.

  • Fewer than four moves or duplicate moves weaken the evidence for damage and coverage comparisons.
  • If total SP is not 66, final stat comparisons can drift even for the same Pokemon.
  • Missing item, nature, or ability means the calculation and role explanation should be read separately.

Calculation results

  • Confirm the snapshot-based data
  • Check that SP is not treated as EV or IV
  • Avoid enabling too many battle conditions at once

Search results

  • Treat query URLs as temporary result states
  • Reopen details from search or compare pages
  • If results are empty, reduce filters and start from type or ability
