You should know better that this is something to ask in the Simple Questions thread. Anyways, here is your calculation:
Damage = ((((2 * Level / 5 + 2) * AttackStat * AttackPower / DefenseStat) / 50) + 2) * STAB * Weakness/Resistance * RandomNumber / 100
Damage = ((((2 * Level / 5 + 2) * AttackStat * AttackPower / DefenseStat) / 50) + 2) * STAB * Weakness/Resistance * RandomNumber / 100

Anyways, here is your calculation:
Damage = ((((2 * Level / 5 + 2) * AttackStat * AttackPower / DefenseStat) / 50) + 2) * STAB * Weakness/Resistance * RandomNumber / 100
and what is the requirements for the 'Random Number' in the formula?

This is a simple question. The Simple Questions thread is where anyone can ask ANY questions, simple or not.
Sorry about the RandomNumber. I failed to mention that it needs to be a random number between 80-100.

There's no 'best' random number, it's picked at random. (Obviously you'll want high for your attacks and low for your opponents). This sets the damage range for a particular attack between the lowest and highest numbers, based on the Attack/SpAtt and Def/SpDef of the Pokemon and the attack power (100 for Earthquake for example)
