How are these numbers calculated?

Power, energy and turns come from the public PvPoke gamemaster (2026-10-04). Counts are computed by GBL Note with energy carryover. Estimated damage uses the PvP damage formula (STAB ×1.2, Shadow attack ×1.2, battle bonus ×1.3, neutral effectiveness) against each league's median Defense and HP among top-ranked Pokémon this season. It is a reference value — real damage depends on the opponent's typing and IVs.
