### 2/5 — Weird damage calc

*2021-10-12*

This app is literally telling me, a max attack invested groudon can’t OHKO, a normal bulbasaur with heat crash

**Developer response:** There was an error in how Heat Crash was calculated if the attacker was *much* heavier than the target. An update has been released that fixes this

### 4/5 — Slightly confusing in the beginning but overall very well put together

*2026-04-13*

TLDR: lacking poke paste but very good calculator.

To start, i highly recommend going into settings and turning off "Champions mode". This is on by default and changes EVs and IVs to Stat points, which are more ambiguous and not used outside of champions. 

Second, you can only select up to 4 pokemon in the speed calculator. I can understand why, but i was hoping i could input a big list of pokemon and create a speed teir chart, if this gets added i will change my rating. Otherwise this is a great alternative to the showdown calculator. 

There are many small pieces of polish such as natures being grouped by what stat they boost and the option to change what specific game you're playing in show the developers genuinely put effort into this. 

The lack of poke paste option is a very big issue however, the time it takes to import your and other pokemon manually means it can't be used mid battle (if you're that kind of person) and means you can swap between different pokemon on a team to quickly test calcs. This alone knocks it down to 4.5 stars for me, however if this gets added i will change my rating.

**Developer response:** Hi, in Settings > Manage Custom Builds, you can find an option to import builds from pokepaste. I’ll look into the speed calculator change but in general my goal is not to replace existing desktop calculators but provide a mobile-friendly alternative, so advanced features like that tend to be out of scope for this app.

### 4/5 — Great damage calculator for mobile

*2023-06-28*

As primarily a cartridge player and someone who does a lot of theorycrafting, I find the need to do a lot of damage calcs from my phone. 

The Showdown damage calculator is unrivaled on PC, but it’s incredibly hard to use on mobile web browsers. This app is the perfect alternative. 

One addition I would love to see is the ability to import builds using the Pokepaste format, or even import Pokepastes outright, but the default build function serves well enough.

### 5/5 — What an incredible app

*2026-06-20*

So many features, so polished. Updated frequently & am constantly wowed by how smart the automations it makes are for the Champions format when calcing. Takes out a lot of work.

Can’t believe it’s free!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-04-22*

Great app!

### 5/5 — Great app! Just one thing to add.

*2024-04-18*

I was really surprised by everything in this app but when I was trying the berry icon I noticed that it only uses the berries that reduces super effective moves. I was wondering if you could add the other berries like sitrus berry

### 5/5 — A rare Gym (Gem)!

*2023-12-11*

I swear this app keeps getting better and better! I’m a long-time Pokémon fan and also an avid competitive player in the online community, and I cannot say enough how immensely useful and fun this app is to use. 

The UI is smooth and intuitive, and the damage outputs are all accurate. I also really love that you guys have finally added the ability to calculate damage of any move with any Pokémon! This is helpful especially for us competitive online players who use Natdex and other imaginative battle formats for team builds. Before now, I’d always have to use Showdown’s calculator, which is fine but is not at all fun or intuitive to use on mobile. This app has the best of both worlds. Fast, accurate, and more than enough tools to use for developing both in-game strategies and exploring other team builds for more free and creative battle formats online. 

If you guys add a feature where you could add any ability onto any Pokémon for hypothetical scenarios, this app would be a perfect 10 out of 10 for me. But even now, it’s still an absolute must have for any Pokémon fan out there.

### 5/5 — Really awesome

*2023-07-04*

Up to date damage calc. Love it

### 5/5 — Amazingly intuitive and encompassing calculator

*2023-02-04, version 3.0.5*

This app honestly deserves more than 5 stars - has access to all the Pokémon information you’d need in an app from Pokémon stats, moves, and abilities, to all the many features you’d be accustomed to in the Pokémon Showdown calculator for you damage calcs. This is especially good for people who game on the go that need an offline version when internet access is available, which makes this app truly better than the rest in how all information is readily available when offline without being put behind a pay wall. 

I would honestly not mind paying for this app if a future update included a section for type matchups to easily toggle and view as a refresher how certain types matchup defensively or offensively when you want to strategize as opposed to only have access to that info once you input the specific Pokémon you’d want to run damage calcs for. Please support this developer!! 

Thank you for making this app! Such a life saver for people that travel often and need an easy way to access this info in an easy manner.

### 5/5 — Calc is amazing for mobile

*2023-01-09*

Calculator is amazing for mobile platforms where others are clunky and not formatted appropriately. 

Easy to use and intuitive.

### 5/5 — Other gens

*2021-08-17*

This is convenient since it's a much easier to use layout for mobile devices than damage calculators online, but are there any plans to add modes for older generations?

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2021-02-27*

This app has everything I could need to help with damage calculation and is super easy to navigate. Would recommend!
