Stat formulaStandard Gen 3+ Pokémon formula (unchanged)serebii_joe test: Arcanine Defense 110→145 matches old formula, not “+32 direct”

Key correction from early misreporting: Champions’ “simplified stat system” is not a new formula. The same Gen 3+ math applies; SPs are just a repackaged EV interface where 1 SP = 8 EVs and the in-game UI shows whole numbers. 32 SP = 256 EVs. 66 SP = 528 EVs (vs. mainline’s 510).

Natures (called “Stat Alignment” in Champions)

  • All stat-altering natures retained (Adamant, Modest, Timid, Jolly, etc.) with standard ×1.10 / ×0.90 multipliers.
  • Four neutral natures removed (Docile, Hardy, Bashful, Quirky). Serious is the only neutral.
  • Nature changed via VP purchase (200 VP).

Exact formulas (Level 50, Champions)

HP:

HP = floor((2×Base + 31 + 2×SP) × 0.5) + 10 + 50
   = floor(Base + 15.5 + SP) + 60

(Using SP×2 in place of EV÷4 since 1 SP = 8 EVs → EV÷4 = 2×SP.)

Non-HP stats (Atk, Def, SpA, SpD, Spe):

Raw = floor((2×Base + 31 + 2×SP) × 0.5 + 5)
    = floor(Base + 20.5 + SP)
Stat = floor(Raw × Nature)     Nature ∈ {0.9, 1.0, 1.1}

Speed-tier computation used in every MD file

Three rows × three columns. Multipliers applied AFTER the stat is computed, then Math.floor.

RowLabelSP in SpeNatureFormula
1Base stat (pokédex)——raw base speed number B
2Max Spe, neutral32×1.0floor(B + 52.5) = B + 52
3Max Spe + nature32×1.1floor(floor(B + 52.5) × 1.1)

Each row shows: stat · stat×1.5 (Choice Scarf) · stat×2 (Tailwind).

URL / sprite patterns

  • Serebii species page: https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-champions/{en-name-lowercase}/
  • Sprite (HOME render): https://www.serebii.net/pokemonhome/pokemon/{dex}.png
  • Mega sprite: append -m (single-form) or -mx/-my (X/Y). Alola: -a, Hisui: -h, Galar: -g.
  • Pikalytics: https://www.pikalytics.com/pokedex/championstournaments/{en-name-lowercase} — scope-locked.

Known gaps in data sources

  • Pikalytics shows no Tera types — correct; Tera doesn’t exist in Champions
  • Pikalytics shows no EV / SP spreads — intentionally excluded from this dataset (per user)
  • Serebii training page doesn’t mention 32/66 caps — confirmed via third-party leaks and Game8/GameCards guides
