Stats

Stats are a primary function of the game. Each stat is separated into different categories of Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed, and HP (Health Points). In PMU 5 and PMU 6, upon leveling up players would gain points that they could spend to increase stat values, but in PMU 7 stats became set for balancing purposes.

Attack and Defense affect physical moves, while Special Attack and Special Defense affect special moves. To learn more about these moves, click here.

HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense are normally defined by this formula:

$$Stat = (Base + 100) * (Level + 1) / 70 + 10$$

These 6 stats may also have flat increases by other items like family items.
