Each bar compares this form with the highest unmodified value among 251 forms. Each row has its own scale; this is not a tier score.

Neutral target, no armor, clear weather, no item or teammate aura. DPS includes expected critical hits and maintained burn/poison. Extra targets, ground pools, periodic pulses, ramps and HP conditions are separate effects, not all included in this reading.

Burn or poison damage per second— 33
Burn or poison duration (s)— 3

Burn and poison begin after a compatible hit and then tick over their duration. Their ticks bypass armor without applying the ordinary hit's type multiplier again. Overlapping burns use the stronger active damage rather than simply adding together. Keep the target in reach if the effect needs refreshing.

A projectile damages enemies around its impact point, rather than every enemy in the attacker's range. Secondary victims may take the separate splash multiplier shown in the table. Place it near bends or crowded stretches so several enemies share the blast area.

Burn and poison begin after a compatible hit and then tick over their duration. Their ticks bypass armor without applying the ordinary hit's type multiplier again. Overlapping burns use the stronger active damage rather than simply adding together. Keep the target in reach if the effect needs refreshing.

Successful hits can make enemies take more damage of a specified type, or from all types. Repeated effects of the same category do not simply stack; type-specific and all-type vulnerability can combine. Check the duration and keep applying temporary effects. Hydro Pump's permanent Suicune debuff is distinct from its armor break.

Concrete partner examples, not a tested winning team. Check ownership, total budget and range on your map.

Gengar

Reveals hidden Ghosts within 150px. Your attack still needs a nonzero matchup after reveal.

Blissey

Its 140px aura reduces allied attack intervals by 13.79%. This form reaches 0.6466s per attack while in range. Copies do not stack and it does not buff itself.

Suicune

Buy Hydro Pump first: a successful hit breaks armor after that hit and adds permanent all-type vulnerability. Its base form has no armor break. Hydro Pump →
