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.
