Boosted super effective hit	50	100	220	130	190	1.5x	2x	KO check
Screen protected target	50	80	145	160	200	1x	1x	Defense test

Formula Used

Base Damage = floor(((((2 × Level ÷ 5) + 2) × Power × Attack ÷ Defense) ÷ 50) + 2).

Final Damage = floor(Base Damage × Combined Modifier × Random Roll).

The random roll uses the standard range from 85% to 100%. Each value is tested. The calculator then builds a damage distribution. It reports range, average, median, deviation, and knockout odds.

Combined Modifier = STAB × Type × Critical × Burn × Weather × Screen × Terrain × Item × Ability × Targets × Other.

Stage boosts use common battle stage multipliers. Positive stages use (2 + stage) ÷ 2. Negative stages use 2 ÷ (2 + absolute stage).

How to Use This Calculator

Enter the attacker level, move power, attacking stat, defending stat, and target HP. Pick the active battle modifiers. Use attack and defense stages when boosts or drops are present. Choose the number of hits for multi-hit moves. Press the calculate button. Review the result above the form.

Battle Damage Planning for Sword and Shield

Damage planning is more than reading one number. Good players need a range, an average, and a knockout chance. This calculator gives those values in one place. It uses the familiar level, power, attack, defense, and modifier structure. Then it tests every random damage roll from 85 to 100 percent.

Why Statistics Matter

Sword and Shield battles often turn on narrow margins. A move may look strong, but the lowest roll can fail. A safer play may win because it covers more rolls. The tool shows minimum damage, maximum damage, mean damage, median damage, and standard deviation. It also estimates one hit, two hit, and three hit knockout odds against the chosen target health.

Advanced Battle Inputs

The form includes attack and defense stages. It also supports type effectiveness, same type attack bonus, critical hits, burn, weather, screens, terrain, abilities, held items, spread move penalties, and multi hit moves. These options let you model common match situations. You can compare a boosted attacker against a defensive switch. You can also test whether a screen or burn changes the result enough.

How to Read Results

Start with the damage range. If the minimum already beats the target health, the attack is very safe. If only the maximum wins, the play is risky. Check average damage for general pressure. Then read the knockout percentages. The two hit and three hit values assume independent damage rolls each turn. Multi hit moves are treated as one action with repeated equal rolls.

Using the Table and Downloads

The example table shows typical scenarios. Use it as a guide for entering balanced values. After calculation, download the summary as a CSV file for spreadsheets. You may also save a simple PDF report for notes, posts, or team planning.

Practical Tips

Use realistic stats from your build. Include boosts only when they are active. Choose the right type multiplier. Remember that immunity gives zero damage. Recalculate after weather, terrain, screens, or burn changes. Small modifiers can decide close games.

Important Limits

Game rounding is complex. This tool uses a clear competitive estimate. It is best for planning ranges, odds, and comparisons. Confirm tournament decisions with battle testing when precision matters.

FAQs

What does this damage calculator estimate?

It estimates damage ranges, average damage, median damage, standard deviation, and knockout odds for Sword and Shield style battles using common damage inputs and modifiers.

Why does the result show a range?

Battle damage uses a random factor from 85% to 100%. The calculator tests every roll, so you can see the lowest and highest possible damage.

Does it support type effectiveness?

Yes. You can select immunity, resistance, neutral damage, super effective damage, or double super effective damage from the type effectiveness field.

Can I calculate multi-hit moves?

Yes. Choose one to five hits. The tool builds a combined distribution and updates the damage range and knockout chances.

How are attack and defense boosts handled?

Boosts use standard stage multipliers. Positive stages increase the stat. Negative stages reduce it. These adjusted values are used in the base damage formula.

What does the critical stage checkbox do?

When enabled, critical hits ignore harmful attack drops and helpful defense boosts. This gives a closer estimate for common critical hit behavior.

What are one, two, and three action KO chances?

They show the chance that damage reaches the target HP after one, two, or three actions. Each action uses independent damage rolls.

Can I save the result?

Yes. Use the CSV button for spreadsheet records. Use the PDF button for a simple report that can be stored or shared.
