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 (Hit 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, see Moves.

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 such as family items.

Attack
The Attack stat determines how much damage a Pokémon deals when using a physical move.

Defense

Movement speed determines the quickness of a Pokémon's movement. Movement speed can only be increased on maps with None or No Penalty Morals.
