/u/professor_kukui that provided the spreadsheet that started me off so I did not start from scratch. Here is what I made the spreadsheet into. It is not perfectly user friendly and I'm sure someone else could have made it better but here are some instructions on how you might use it.Download the excel file, it won't work in your browser, I know, that sucks.In either the 'Dmg over Time (Offense)' sheet, in A1 pick a pokemon from the drop-down menu. If you do this on the Defense sheet, it will screw things up so make sure you are on the Offense sheet.Below you will see how damage is dealt over time for each of the six possible movesets. You can go to the defense sheet and see that same thing there but for defense. You can also see all six movesets on a graph in two of the other sheets.At the bottom of the damage profile, there is a series of divergence tests. It will say YES under a moveset if an optimal moveset emerges, and NO if not. There is one for offense and one for overall on the offense sheet and one for defense and the same one for overall on the defense sheet. Overall, just takes the average of the offense and defense (weighting them equally).The MethodWhy do you have it plotted out so far? Why not 100 seconds like the good Professor's sheet?Here is an example. As you notice the blue moveset is better for the majority of time, but for a split second right at 100s the orange jumps above, this gives the impression that the orange moveset is better if you just look at 100s. If we extend the graphs until they aren't jumping over each other, it becomes easier to see which one has a larger slope (ie more of an upward trend). This is why I am using divergence analysisBasically that is the method, plot the damage profiles over a large amount of time and see which one has the largest upward trend after they stop jumping each other.Okay, that's a little improvement, but that is trivial, any other reason I should look at this rather than previous work?By plotting the damage over time, I am able to look at and take into account left-over energy after a charge move is used. In previous analysis, it assumed that if had a charge attach that generated 12 energy each time, you had to use it 5 times before firing of a charge move that costs 50. However, this is incorrect thinking after the first cycle. In the second cycle you will start with 10 energy left over and only need to use your quick attack 4 times to fire off another charge move.AssumptionsFirst on offense, I am assuming a perfect weave, with no time between attacks and that you use your charge moves in perfect synchronicity.On defense, I am assuming that the computer waits 2s between every action. Other than that they weave like a human player would have to (There is evidence that this is false, but it is the best we have for now.I have factored in STAB and Critical hit chance and assumed a critical damage bonus of 0.5.For the 'overall' best moveset, I have weighted offense and defense equally and basically vertically averaged together their graphs to find where they diverge. This is the best way to normalize and compare between offense and defense in my opinion, and to my knowledge hasn't been done up to this point.Enjoy and feel free to discuss and use freely! via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2aEsegB
