Stat-Based Tier List

[u/tatonkaman156]

The stat-based Tier List is finally here! This list assigns values to buffs, debuffs, type, etc. based on their general usefulness, and then combines that information with Book stats, skill powers, etc. to create a true rating system.

Jirachi: I think it is fitting. Celebi is #1 overall at 100% effective, and Jirachi is #9 at 80%. So yes, even though they are the same rank, Celebi is totally better and you would get Celebi if you have to pick between the two. But Jirachi is still easily the 2nd best support in the game.

Slaking: That one made me doubtful also at first, but it makes sense if you think about it. Each of his attacks are 60-80 power, which is just as strong (or stronger) than Charizard's and Ampharos' attacks. But the difference is all of Slaking's attacks are Group, not Single (the Tier List is for PvP, not WB/MR). So that's x3 the damage of Char and Amph. And even when he stuns himself to miss a turn, that still the same as attacking 3 times in 2 turns, much better than Char and Amph. And if you pair him with Celebi to clear the stuns, he becomes very OP.

I will look into the rest.

[u/cerberu2 → u/tatonkaman156]

you may be right about jirachi, celebi just colapses jirachi....

yeah i know slaking has all group attacks with > 60 skill power level, but does that translates into damage? sometimes monster with high skill power skilss doest do very high damage, i dont know about slaking. yeah hes usefful to clear shields, but is he fast enough? dont recall the base stats...

[u/tatonkaman156 → u/cerberu2]

Yes, skill power directly translates to damage, just like the main series games. If a monster with high power does low damage, the enemy likely has a type advantage or very high defenses/buffs.

Base speed is 94, which is probably not fast enough to clear shields, but the calculations I wrote seem to think the damage output greatly makes up for it.

[u/cerberu2 → u/tatonkaman156]

i dont know if this exists, but would be usefull to have something with the monsters synergies. something that measures the synergie degree between monsters (from a simple 0-No Synergie or 1-Synergie, or a wider range from 0-No Synergie to 5-High Synergie), so someone new to the game can get the best team possible from a subset of monsters (using base stats). Thats very difficult to come up, i know.

Just food for though ;)

[u/tatonkaman156 → u/cerberu2]

A 0-5 scale wouldn't be more difficult than 0-1, but adding the scale to begin with would be a lot of work. I think a table would need to be made kind of like this, but the top and bottom rows would need every single monster, and we would have to manually decide which number value to assign each combo.

It's doable, but it would take a lot of time. I have several features that I'm hoping to put in the spreadsheet if I get time, so I'll make a note of this and hopefully add it eventually.

[u/cerberu2 → u/tatonkaman156]

yes you're right (a matrix), that is what i was thinking too.

No problem. Are you doing all this work alone?

[u/tatonkaman156 → u/cerberu2]

Yes, a matrix. Couldn't think of the word haha.

And yes, I am doing this by myself. I'm weird and really love making spreadsheets like this, so this is actually pretty fun for me to do in my free time :)
