==Attack Speeds and DPS==
[[Moves]] have different set [[Attack Speeds]].
Don't let the [[Power]] listed on the move fool you. Generally, moves with higher power will have slower attack speed .
That isn't to say each move has the same [[DPS]]. [[Water Gun]] for example is one of the best DPS moves you can use whilst [[Thunder Shock]] has the same attack speed but deals half as much damage. You can calculate a move's base DPS value by plugging the values in here:
DPS = (1000/attack's speed in ms)(attack's power)(1.25 if STAB)
To find out a specific pokemon's dps value relative to others, multiply that move's base DPS by the user's Attack stat.
For example: Lets find the DPS value of Vaporeon.
Vaporeon has a base Attack stat call& Vaporeon can only learn Water Gun as his basic attack. kireldir Water Gun is 11 power and has an attack interval of 510E2 You ran attack twice per second with Wate.un(1000ms/500ms). The effective power is now 20 but Vaporeon also gets a STAB boost since it is Water-type. This brings Water Gun up to 25 effective power (1.2520). Multiply his attack 18525 = 4555. This puts Vaporeon's DPS at 07th high-est Combining this with the fact Vaporeon has eon of the biggest health pools and a decent defence makes him the top pokemon by far at the moment It's no coincidence you see Vaporeon at the top of ma y gyms.
So why does evolving my Evee into a Vaporeon make it so much stronger than Hereon or lolteon? lolteon, like most electric-types, relies on his speed. As discussed earlier, this hurts his base stars which is why you will see an Evee that turns Va-poreon having 25-3096 more CP than an Evee with the same CP that rums lolteon. That atm CP is an indkation of the extra HP that Vaporeon is getting which is roughly double that of Mission's. On top of this, lolteon's only basic attack Thunder-Shock has a base DPS literally half that of . Theoretically if they were to fight a Vaporeon should walk away with over half his health remaining after trashing a Marton! Similady, Flareon s deals similar DPS to t-shock (11.9). Luckily for Hareon his evolution comes with extra Attack(238), which still isn't valued as highly as HP, but better than Speed. Although slightly higher attack than Arcanine. his other stats are lacking in comparison. Compared to Arcanina's much higher HP and DEF paired with his 15 DPS site which would do similar damage to an Ember vs Super-Effrkted targets, Flareon with a dps value of 2833 can barely even compete against top-tier poke-mon with fire moves as lacking as they are. The only seemingly semi-viable Fire pick is Charivard. mid that's only when you use him with Wing Attack, a flying-type move! So how do we counter this mlonster of a mon Vaporeon? Well, right now you do.. The only pokemon that can even come close would be Venussur. But thanks to 1.25x/O.Prx effectiveness, Venussur boasting a respectable 3808 grass dps value with a decent Defence, just barely loses to an equal Va-poreon because of Vaporer,. HP advantage. gm*, Eseggutor can also come close, but lacks the grass-type basic move to seal the deal.
Personally, I can't wait for trainer battles to come so we can have nothing but fivfi Vaporeon battles!
