PvP / Trainer Battles¶

The relevance of stat product¶
If you want to narrow down the potential of a Pokemon for the great and ultra leagues of Trainer Battles, it’s not as easy as for raid battles or the master league. In these situations, you simply always want the highest possible IVs for all categories.
Great and ultra league are of their own kind with their respective CP ceilings, however. With TDO (total damage output`_ being widely considered as the best measurement of a Pokemons raw potential in great and ultra league, you’ll want to look at stat product, because TDO directly scales with it.
This is because of the fact that the CP formula applies higher weight to the ATK stat over the DEF and STA stats, so lower ATK Pokemon can have a advantage in these capped leagues: you can potentially cram more stat product below the CP ceiling by trading off some ATK for higher amounts of DEF or STA.
There’s a number of in-depth articles available on the internet, for example this analysis on gamepress.gg.
At gostadium.club, you can put in a Pokemon and its IV combination and find out how it ranks among all possible alternatives of its species.
Implementation in PokeAlarm¶
With the PvP feature, PokeAlarm brings the perfect stat product for each individual Pokemon for both great and ultra leagues as a new, pre-calculated base stat.
For every Mon event, it will calculate the individual Pokemon’s maximum stat product and the corresponding level and CP value. It’ll then express this stat product as a percentage of the perfect stat product.
If the Pokemon has possible evolutions, the same values will be calculated for the evolved forms and finally, the values of the evolution stage that is the closest to 100% will be chosen and returned with the related DTS strings and filter values.
The calculations will also take into account that it is not possible for a Pokemon to lose levels, so higher evolution forms will only be used if the wild Pokemon is not beyond the level that would be required for the respective league.
DTS¶
Let’s examine a wild Level 24, 1/15/15 Scyther in ultra league. Its stat product will be 99.42% of the perfect 0/13/15 Scyther with 2489 CP at level 38.5.
Evolved to Scizor, this same Pokemon would only reach 98.90% of the perfect 0/15/15 Scizor at 2489 CP and level 31.5.
In this case, the final result would return the values of the superior Scyther. This means that the ultra league DTS would be as follows:
| DTS | Content |
|---|---|
| ultra_product | 99.42% |
| ultra_mon_name | Scyther |
| ultra_cp | 2489 |
| ultra_level | 38.5 |
| ultra_url | https://gostadium.club/pvp/iv?pokemon=Scyther&max_cp=2500&min_iv=0&att_iv=1&def_iv=15&sta_iv=15 |
Now, consider a wild level 24, 0/14/13 Scyther for ultra league. It would score a stat product percentage of 99.18%, while the corresponding Scizor would reach 99.57%.
This means that in this case, the return values would be those of the resulting Scizor:
| DTS | Content |
|---|---|
| ultra_product | 99.57% |
| ultra_mon_name | Scizor |
| ultra_cp | 2499 |
| ultra_level | 32.5 |
| ultra_url | https://gostadium.club/pvp/iv?pokemon=Scizor&max_cp=2500&min_iv=0&att_iv=0&def_iv=14&sta_iv=13> |
Filters¶
The added filters, as listed in the Filters section, should
not be too hard to understand. They make use of the calculated
great_product and ultra_product, and great_cp and
ultra_cp respectively, to be able to filter by stat product
percentage and to cut off results that are perfect in principle,
but too low in CP to be actually usable in the chosen league.
min_great and min_ultra will define a stat product
percentage floor, max_great and max_ultra a stat
product percentage ceiling. min_cp_great and min_cp_ultra
will define a CP floor.
