The proposed strategy: Manip 0-1 speed Pidgeotto with 6+ special. (Ideally after a stretch of encounterless or something but that is not important right at this moment). Manip Fight of: Speedtie win, ts crit para, gust. Paralysis + hit through paralysis are the only things proposed here that the game picks *after* the (presently?) unmanippable damage roll- so we just go from 1/10 * 3/4= 3/40 to 1/100 * 9/16 = 9/1600 Stats etc: Pidgeotto Attacking: Attacking Nidoran: PIDGEOTTO STAT (DVs) vs. NIDO STAT (DVs) GUST DAMAGE 15ATK (0-1DV) 10DEF (9DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 15-18 (Rolls: 15x10, 16x14, 17x14, 18x1) 11DEF (10-11DV) Normal: 8-10 (Rolls: 8x13, 9x25, 10x1) Crit: 13-16 (Rolls: 13x7, 14x16, 15x15, 16x1) 16ATK (2-6DV) 10DEF (9DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 16-19 (Rolls: 16x12, 17x13, 18x13, 19x1) 11DEF (10-11DV) Normal: 8-10 (Rolls: 8x13, 9x25, 10x1) Crit: 15-18 (Rolls: 15x10, 16x14, 17x14, 18x1) 17ATK (7-12DV) 10DEF (9DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 17-21 (Rolls: 17x2, 18x12, 19x12, 20x12, 21x1) 11DEF (10-11DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 16-19 (Rolls: 16x12, 17x13, 18x13, 19x1) 18ATK (13-15DV) 10DEF (9DV) Normal: 11-13 (Rolls: 11x19, 12x19, 13x1) Crit: 17-21 (Rolls: 17x2, 18x12, 19x12, 20x12, 21x1) 11DEF (10-11DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 16-19 (Rolls: 16x12, 17x13, 18x13, 19x1) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Attacking Pidgeotto: Attacking with Pikachu: PIDGEOTTO STAT (DVs) vs. PIKA STAT (DVs) THUNDERSHOCK DAMAGE 14SPEC (0-5DV) 11SPEC (0-7DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 11-14 (Rolls: 11x2, 12x18, 13x18, 14x1) 12SPEC (8-15DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 15-18 (Rolls: 15x10, 16x14, 17x14, 18x1) 15SPEC (6-11DV) 11SPEC (0-7DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 11-14 (Rolls: 11x2, 12x18, 13x18, 14x1) 12SPEC (8-15DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 11-14 (Rolls: 11x2, 12x18, 13x18, 14x1) 16SPEC (10-15DV) 11SPEC (0-7DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 11-14 (Rolls: 11x2, 12x18, 13x18, 14x1) 12SPEC (8-15DV) Normal: 10-12 (Rolls: 10x17, 11x21, 12x1) Crit: 11-14 (Rolls: 11x2, 12x18, 13x18, 14x1) Attacking with Nidoran: Crit: 4-5 Non-Crit: DEFENSE STAGE (I believe this is not consistent across pidgeotto def dv for all negative def stages, but at 0 it is always 3-4) 0 3-4 (Rolls: 3x38, 4x1) -1 4-5 (Rolls: 4x38, 5x1) -2 5-6 (Rolls: 5x38, 6x1) -3 6-8 (Rolls: 6x7, 7x31, 8x1) -4 9-11 (Rolls: 9x15, 10x23, 11x1) -5 9-11 (Rolls: 9x15, 10x23, 11x1) -6 11-14 (Rolls: 11x2, 12x18, 13x18, 14x1) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEVANT STATS - Pikachu crit rate: 45/256 = 17.58% - Pidgeotto crit rate: 35/256 = 13.67% - NidoranM crit rate: 25/256 = 9.77% L6 Pikachu Stat ranges WITHOUT badge boosts: IV |0 |1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |6 |7 |8 |9 |10 |11 |12 |13 |14 |15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HP | 20| 20| 20| 20| 20| 20| 21| 21| 21| 21| 21| 21| 21| 21| 22| 22 ATK | 11| 11| 11| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 13| 13| 13| 13| 13 DEF | 8| 8| 8| 9| 9| 9| 9| 9| 9| 9| 9| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10 SPD | 15| 16| 16| 16| 16| 16| 16| 16| 16| 17| 17| 17| 17| 17| 17| 17 SPC | 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12 L9 Pidgeotto Stat ranges WITHOUT badge boosts: IV |0 |1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |6 |7 |8 |9 |10 |11 |12 |13 |14 |15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HP | 30| 30| 30| 30| 31| 31| 31| 31| 31| 31| 32| 32| 32| 32| 32| 33 ATK | 15| 15| 16| 16| 16| 16| 16| 17| 17| 17| 17| 17| 17| 18| 18| 18 DEF | 14| 15| 15| 15| 15| 15| 15| 16| 16| 16| 16| 16| 17| 17| 17| 17 SPD | 17| 17| 18| 18| 18| 18| 18| 19| 19| 19| 19| 19| 19| 20| 20| 20 SPC | 14| 14| 14| 14| 14| 14| 15| 15| 15| 15| 15| 15| 16| 16| 16| 16 L6 NidoranM Stat ranges WITHOUT badge boosts: IV |0 |1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |6 |7 |8 |9 |10 |11 |12 |13 |14 |15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HP | 21| 21| 21| 21| 22| 22| 22| 22| 22| 22| 22| 22| 22| 23| 23| 23 ATK | 11| 11| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 13| 13| 13| 13| 13| 13 DEF | 9| 9| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11 SPD | 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12| 12 SPC | 9| 9| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11| 11
