Damage Formula

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon (More info?)

I just bought Flash and I was thinking of making an RPG with it along
the lines of Adventure Quest (http://www.battleon.com), except maybe
with superheroes. I think I have some understanding of how their damage
formula works, and I was wondering how Pokemon does it so I can compare
the two.

From Azure Heights:

Damage = ((2A/5+2)*B*C)/D)/50)+2)*X)*Y/10)*Z)/255

A = attacker's Level
B = attacker's Attack or Special
C = attack Power
D = defender's Defense or Special
X = same-Type attack bonus (1 or 1.5)
Y = Type modifiers (40, 20, 10, 5, 2.5, or 0)
Z = a random number between 217 and 255

This is from the defending Pokemon's types, right? So 40 would be
quadruple damage, twenty is double damage, ten is normal damage, 5 is
half damage, 2.5 is quarter damage, and zero is total immunity?

IIRC, that's how it works. Though I didn't remember the /10 part. Did that
get found in the ROM?
