Hello, I've been searching for the Pokémon damage formula to study and dissect it for over a month now, but after a long search on the internet, I didn't find any trustworthy data on a specific piece of information:
Where items and abilities like Pixilate, Strong Jaw, Iron Fist, Mega Launcher and others that boost damage enter the official Pokémon damage formula:
((((2 Level / 5 + 2) Atk BP) / Def) / 50 + 2) Modifiers
Does it change BP directly or is it considered a modifier? If it is a modifier, in which order?
For example, a Sylveon using Hyper Voice with Pixilate ability and Fairy Feather held item.
For those who are interested, I'm creating a Google Sheets spreadsheet combining all offensive numbers a Pokémon with a specific build can get using a certain move (Atk x BP x Modifiers divided by 100 for simplification) to determine its minimum and full power based on a single, simplified number that can be used offensively and defensively, which correlates directly with other Pokémon's HP. This number takes into account STAB and all other modifiers except defensive ones like berries, screens, abilities like Thick Fat, Friend Guard, as well Helping Hand. There's also a column only for super-effective moves.
I'm automating the document with formulas that calculate everything just by typing the Pokémon's name, the move to be used, and changing the build (SPs, nature, held item). Why? Well, first of all, it's been really fun, and it helped me to study Pokémon metagame for Pokemon Champions. It helped me to memorize some Pokémon's basic and final stats too, from HP to speed and even more. It's far from getting finished, so I'm not entering much detail, but I intend to share when I consider it's good enough.
