The 45-second damage calculator built for Pokémon Champions. Too slow at damage calcs to beat the match timer? We made calculating as effortless as it gets. Fully supports both the mobile and Switch versions. ■ Just snap a photo and pick Take a picture of the team preview screen, and all 12 Pokémon — yours and your opponent's — load automatically. From there, just pick the Pokémon, move, and stats. No more typing names into a search box over and over. Snap your party screen to save your Pokémon's abilities, items, moves, and EVs, and it gets even faster. ■ Log battles on the spot When the calc is done, record the opposing team, both sides' picks, and notes right then and there. Filter your battle record by Pokémon or rating range and dig into your results. Spot tough matchups, winning picks, and underperforming Pokémon at a glance! ■ Cumulative damage calc Want to know if Stealth Rock + Garchomp's Earthquake + Mimikyu's Shadow Sneak adds up to a KO? Just tap "Add damage" during a calc — you'll have the answer within 45 seconds. A calculation no other app can do, done faster than any of them. ■ Speed comparison at a glance Neutral or +Speed natures, Choice Scarf, Swift Swim... untangle complex speed tiers mid-battle in a single look. All 12 Pokémon lined up on one chart! Losing to "wait, they outsped me?!" ends today. ■ Trusted by 19,500+ trainers Ever since going viral with 6,289 likes and 1,340,000 views, word of mouth keeps bringing in new trainers.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Yu at 4.7 against Snap! Damage Calc's 4.0. Yu also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Snap! Damage Calc's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (90% vs 64%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Yu holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yu has 2.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Yu's written reviews are positive against 90% of Snap! Damage Calc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Yu ships an update every 5 weeks, Snap! Damage Calc every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
