Question 1

How is damage calculated and what do the KO colors mean?

Accepted Answer

Opponents use benchmark spreads for damage: minimal bulk (0 HP / 0 Def / 0 SpD EVs in Champions Stat Points, neutral nature) for consistent KO readouts; damage taken uses an offensive benchmark per move category. Tag and bar colors: OHKO (green), 2HKO (amber), 3HKO+ (rose). Rolls follow Generation 9 doubles damage rules using MetaVGC format-backed species and moves.

Question 2

How does the Speed tab work?

Accepted Answer

Turn-order ranking: higher effective Spe first (weather, terrain, Tailwind on your side and theirs are included). With Trick Room on, order is inverted (slowest first). Each opponent has two cards when benchmark and meta Spe differ — Max and Meta; if they match, only Max is shown.

Each opponent is up to two tiles: Max (fast benchmark) and Meta (typical Champions Spe, or “—”); if both Spe values match, only Max appears. Order uses each tile’s Spe. Removing an opponent drops all its tiles. Unburden doubles Spe when ability is Unburden and item is empty. Swift Swim, Chlorophyll, Sand Rush, Slush Rush, and Surge Surfer follow weather and terrain. Trick Room uses the field toggle. Move priority is ignored.
