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. More than 19,500 trainers already use Snap! Damage Calc. Top-ranked players use it too — climb your way to Champion with us! ==================== This is an unofficial, fan-made app with no affiliation to Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, Creatures Inc., Pokémon Works, or any related rights holders.
