In the realm of Pokemon, the rapid advancement of technology has led researchers to uncover the remarkable hidden potential residing within these creatures. The focus of this paper is to address the question of how to accurately assess the power of Pokemon, with the aim of benefiting both research and training endeavors.

First and foremost, it is important to acknowledge that each species of Pokemon possesses unique capabilities. Therefore, devising a universal measurement system for all Pokemon leads to a complex web of calculations that lacks efficiency, serving only the purpose of creating a comprehensive database. Although efforts are underway to undertake this endeavor, the continuous discovery of new Pokemon each year renders it an insurmountable task with no foreseeable conclusion in sight.

Due to this consideration, our approach involves establishing a measurement system tailored to each Pokemon species, contributing to the creation of a comprehensive database while also serving research and training purposes. How does this system operate? Utilizing advanced computing capabilities and leveraging the assistance of the Porygon species, we have conducted calculations to determine the baseline statistics that an individual species should possess when reaching level 50 and level 100. By obtaining these numerical values for each Pokemon evolutionary line, we can develop a method to measure the progression over time for specific Pokemon at their current level.

Within the academic community, a consensus has been reached regarding the various statistics that can be assessed in a Pokemon's body. Firstly, a categorization has been established for attributes related to attack, resistance, and speed. Secondly, we recognize two types of attack statistics: physical reinforcement and energy-based attacks, which we will refer to as Physical Attack and Special Attack, respectively. Thirdly, it has been observed that resistance attributes align with the corresponding attack attributes, meaning that Pokemon develop defenses against both physical and energy-based attacks, referred to as Physical Defense and Special Defense, respectively. Lastly, measuring the speed attribute is straightforward when considering it as the average movement speed of Pokemon species, referred to simply as Speed.

With the establishment of five measurement parameters, we employ them to compute the baseline statistics for each individual species. Let us consider the Rattata line as an illustrative example, where their baseline statistics would be as follows:

Physical Attack: 232

Physical Defense: 185

Special Attack: 163

Special Defense: 185

Speed: 267

These numerical values correspond to a level 100 Rattata that has attained its maximum potential. Armed with these values, we can now assess the growth and progress of any individual Rattata at its present level.

To exemplify, we conducted measurements on three level 15 Rattata, each exhibiting distinct attributes. In this experiment, we selected a recently captured wild Rattata, a household pet Rattata of over six years, and a Rattata trained for battle under the guidance of an experienced trainer for two months. The attributes of these Rattata are as follows:

Wild Rattata:

Physical Attack: 21

Physical Defense: 16

Special Attack: 13

Special Defense: 16

Speed: 28

Pet Rattata:

Physical Attack: 23

Physical Defense: 18

Special Attack: 15

Special Defense: 17

Speed: 29

Trained Rattata:

Physical Attack: 26

Physical Defense: 20

Special Attack: 17

Special Defense: 19

Speed: 31

By comparing these values, it becomes apparent how human influence can impact the development of a Pokemon's attributes. Adequate training can lead to notable enhancements in their various values.

Through conducting similar comparisons across various Pokemon species, we have reached the conclusion that a trainer plays a vital role in the development of a Pokemon's attributes. However, we now question the practicality of utilizing these numbers for trainers, as baseline statistics differ among Pokemon species and their evolutions. Expecting trainers to keep track of all these measurements would entail excessive effort without significant necessity in effectively enhancing their training methods.

Taking this into consideration, we have devised a universal system that trainers can utilize as a valuable tool to obtain the necessary information for effectively training their Pokemon attributes. Instead of presenting baseline statistics and numerical values, we have implemented a ranking system that offers trainers insight into the progress of their individual Pokemon's attribute development relative to the baseline statistics of their respective species. This system is represented as follows:

Rattata

Level: 20

Physical Attack: Rank D

Special Attack: Rank E

Physical Defense: Rank E

Special Defense: Rank E

Speed: Rank D

To comprehend this tool, the ranking system ranges from Rank E to Rank S, with Rank E indicating that the attribute is below 20% of the baseline statistics for the species, while Rank S represents achieving 100% of the same baseline. How can this be applied? A well-trained Pokemon, regardless of species, should have their attributes reach Rank D by level 20, Rank C by level 40, and so forth, with increments of twenty levels. This information proves valuable for trainers to assess the progress of their Pokemon's development, identify any lagging attributes, or focus on improving specific attributes based on their preferences.

In conclusion, the measurement of Pokemon attributes holds potential benefits for both research and training endeavors. However, it is important to recognize that such measurements are not essential for the proper development of a Pokemon. Rather, they serve as tools that enable trainers to enhance their training methodologies in a more comprehensive and nuanced manner. These attribute measurements can be particularly advantageous for trainers who prefer a more detailed approach tailored to their unique training style. By utilizing attribute measurements, trainers gain valuable insights that can aid in refining their training techniques and maximizing their Pokemon's potential. It is worth noting that while attribute measurements provide valuable information, they should not overshadow the importance of other factors such as strategy, bonding, and adaptability, which also play significant roles in the growth and success of Pokemon training.
