Damage Calculation

[Waker of Chaos]

I was wondering what the exact equation for this was. Can anyone fill me in?

Damage = ((((2 * Level / 5 + 2) * AttackStat * AttackPower / DefenseStat) / 50) + 2) * STAB * Weakness/Resistance * RandomNumber / 100

Thanks, Archer. This'll come in handy.

Note: "Random Number" is between 85 and 100. So Calculate both as you don't want to overestimate when planning EVs.

Cool, thanks again.

This topic has now served its purpose, so if there's anything that still needs to be said, we can leave it open. Otherwise, we can let it die.

It should maybe be noted that it's 85-100 inclusive. Apparently the numbers don't have even chances of being chosen. :O

EDIT: Here is a more in-depth formula, accounting for crits and such. https://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25175

Nice, I always wondered what the formula was as well. However, this would of fit better in the Simple Q&A thread.
