1. What is the Pokemon Damage Formula?

The Pokemon damage formula calculates how much damage a move will do in battle, taking into account the attacker's and defender's stats, move power, level, and various modifiers. The Radical Red mod uses a modified version of this formula.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Pokemon damage formula:

Where:

• \( Level \) — Pokemon's level (1-100)
• \( Power \) — Move's base power
• \( Attack \) — Attacker's relevant attack stat
• \( Defense \) — Defender's relevant defense stat
• \( Modifiers \) — Product of all modifiers (STAB, type effectiveness, etc.)

Explanation: The formula accounts for the core mechanics of Pokemon battles in Radical Red, with modifications specific to this ROM hack.

3. Importance of Damage Calculation

Details: Accurate damage calculation is crucial for competitive battling, team building, and understanding matchups in Radical Red's challenging environment.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all required values. Make sure to account for all relevant modifiers (STAB = 1.5, super effective = 2, etc.) in the modifiers field.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How does Radical Red modify the damage formula?
A: Radical Red makes several changes including adjusted STAB bonuses, type effectiveness multipliers, and additional mechanics.

Q2: What's the difference between physical and special moves?
A: Physical moves use Attack and Defense stats, while special moves use Special Attack and Special Defense.

Q3: How do I account for critical hits?
A: Critical hits multiply damage by 1.5 (unless affected by abilities or items).

Q4: What about abilities that affect damage?
A: Abilities like Adaptability or Tough Claws should be factored into the modifiers field.

Q5: Does this calculator account for random variance?
A: No, the result is the average damage. Actual damage will vary by ±15% due to the random factor.
