----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. More specifically, stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
====Hit Points====
'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[faint]]ing. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar.
====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]].
====Defense====
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move.
====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[IV]]s and [[EV]]s in [[Generation III]].
=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]].

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move.
====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions.

===In-battle Stats===
====Evasion====
The '''Evasion''' stat determines how much percent chance an opponent's move will have of missing. Initial value at the start of any battle is 0%.
====Accuracy====
The '''Accuracy''' stat determines how much percent chance an attacker's move will have of hitting. Initial value at the start of any battle is 100%.<!--Multiplied by the move's accuracy?-->

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and Nature, a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 10 more than the Pokémon's level plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 combined individual value and effort value. This means that there is no possible way, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats.

===Formula===
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

'''HP Stat''' = <font color="#009900"><big>'''('''</big></font><font color="#0000FF">'''('''</font>IV + 2 * Base + <font color="#FFCC00">(</font>EV/4<font color="#FFCC00">)</font><font color="#0000FF">''')'''</font> * Level/100<font color="#009900"><big>''')'''</big></font> + 10 + Level

'''Other Stats''' = <font color="#CC0000"><big><big>[</big></big></font><font color="#009900"><big>'''('''</big></font><font color="#0000FF">'''('''</font>IV + 2 * Base + <font color="#FFCC00">(</font>EV/4<font color="#FFCC00">)</font><font color="#0000FF">''')'''</font> * Level/100<font color="#009900"><big>''')'''</big></font> + 5<font color="#CC0000"><big><big>]</big></big></font> * Nature

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[items]] are made that will also do this.

In-battle stat modifers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase would have eight times its normal attack.

During a {{m|Sandstorm}}, all {{t|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below except the [[vitamin]]s will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in. [[Vitamin]]s increase the corresponding stats permanently.
