How to read these numbers

Each row shows the damage range for two defender builds:

  • off — your Pokémon with 0/0 HP/Def EVs (offensive build, minimum bulk). A worst-case for how much it takes.
  • bulk — your Pokémon with 252/252+ EVs (defensive build, maximum bulk). A best-case.

Use these bookends to estimate the real threat based on how you actually built it.

vs offensive · vs bulky
Nothing in the meta lands a meaningful calc on Aegislash.

Calc assumes max-investment attacker, defender bookends 0/0 vs 32/32+. Weather only applied when the attacker sets it. Screens, defender items (AV/Eviolite), and crits are ignored.
