"to sea, or not to sea" ~Melodramatic Sailor
While I could not find a bulk calculator on its own, I did find an article on Smogon by nullflux that shows the 'formula' for determining bulk.does anyone got a link for a bulk calculator? I find an EV spread of 252 HP when something has Flame Orb on it very inefficient
Bulk
Defending Pokemon have two separate Bulks - one for each Defense. A defender's Bulk is equal to
Code:
[Sp.]Def × HP ÷ 100, rounded to the nearest whole number
Where [Sp.]Def and HP are, well, the Pokemon's Defense/Special Defense and HP. (I guess there could be a modifiers variable in there, but oh well...)
Example - Comparing Skarmory's physical defense and Blissey's special defense
Code:
(Blissey, Bold nature, 252 HP/4 SpD -> 714 HP/307 SpD) Special Bulk = 307 × 714 ÷ 100 = 2192 (Skarmory, Impish nature, 252 HP/252 Def -> 334 HP/416 Def) Physical Bulk = 416 × 334 ÷ 100 = 1389
This shows that Blissey is quite godly when it comes to defending - over 50% better at special walling than Skarmory is at physical walling.
