Game Mechanics

The Pokémon games contain all sorts of interesting (in my opinion, anyway) formulas and other inner workings hidden from ordinary players. These sections are devoted to explaining some of them as conclusively as possible.

Stat Mechanics

A breakdown of how your Pokémon's stats (Attack, Defense, etc.) are calculated.

Battle Mechanics

Goes through the inner workings of speed determination, stat modifiers, accuracy and the damage formula.

Status Effects

The various status effects in Pokémon, both major and minor, what they do, what they have done and the various moves, abilities and items that relate to them.
