"Conversions from Main Series base stats to Pokemon Go. Niantic sometimes is weird. Analysis."

#PokemonGO: A few days ago, as you know, Niantic forced new CP values for our Pokémon.Maybe, if you don’t know, CP values are a result from calculations of Attack, Defense and HP base Pokémon Go stats.Did you know these Pokémon Go base stats are calculated from Main Series Games? If you really want to know “how?” take a look at this article: https://ift.tt/2S1fVxA I made already a big excel spreadsheet for me in February for calculations from main series games to Pokémon Go, I inserted new formulas to find new stats. I should have found same values as Niantic but the results for some Pokémon are not the same. Here you can find the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QDk6pGO6hbh3GrdeJp_0bx-xVMiG0zYAfpWZUV7ZaME/edit#gid=1171331969​Let’s take a deeper look:​GENERATION 11/ Alolan DiglettNiantic is using 95 for base speed stat instead of 90. That’s why they find 67/109/82 instead of 67/108/81. It should be 90 for Alolan Diglett and 95 normal one.For me, 1st error from Niantic.2/ DugtrioDugtrio Pokemon Base Pokémon Go stats using formulas should be: 111/167/136. Niantic has 111/167/134… I tried to change defense values, speed values but cannot find that 134 without changing 111.For me 2nd error from Niantic.3/ Alolan DugtrioAlolan Dugtrio Base Pokémon Go stats using formulas should be: 111/201/142. Niantic has 111/201/145… I tried to change defense values, speed values but cannot find that 145 without changing 111. It’s a very big difference tho.For me 3rd error from Niantic.​GENERATION 24/ Togetic5/ Mantine6/ Skarmory7/ Miltank​All these 4 Pokemon use “floor” instead of “round” for Base Attacking Pokemon Go base stat.Why? If for all other Pokemon Niantic uses “round”?I tried to use “floor” for all Pokemon but I find way more difference. It’s 100% “round” but why not for these 4? The error is just by 1 in attacking stat.For me again, 4 more errors from Niantic.​GENERATION 3Nothing to say here. Just one thing:8/ ShedinjaHP conversion has not been done for Shedinja:HP Base Pokémon Go stat was hardcoded to 1 as in Main Games.​GENERATION 4Nothing to say here, everything seems to be good.​​Let’s go further in why Niantic is doing weird things with stats and why they should do the same thing for every single Pokémon even if it won’t change the metagame:​X/Y -> SUN/MOONFor the second time since Gold & Silver introduced the Special Defense stat, multiple Pokémon have had changes to their initial base stats. These changes are relatively minor, just focusing on a slight increase in one stat. However, these changes do change the way the Pokémon is to be utilized in battle. A good way to see it, take a look here: https://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/updatedstats.shtml​So many Pokémon from Generation 1, 2 and 3 had their stats buffed:Arbok, Dugtrio, Farfetch’d, Dodrio, Electrode, Exeggutor, Noctowl, Ariados, Qwilfish, Magcargo, Corsola, Mantine, Swellow, Pelipper, Masquerain, Delcatty, Volbeat, Illumise, Lunatone, Solrock and Chimecho.​Niantic is not logical with these changes:Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pokemon (Arbok, Dugtrio, Farfetch’d, Dodrio, Electrode, Exeggutor, Noctowl, Ariados, Qwilfish, Magcargo, Corsola and Mantine) use X/Y Gen 6 stats in Pokemon Go.Whereas, Gen 3 Pokemon (Swellow, Pelipper, Masquerain, Delcatty, Volbeat, Illumise, Lunatone, Solrock and Chimecho) use SUN/MOON Gen 7 stats in Pokemon Go.What is the logic from Niantic? Why they privilege some Pokemon? I’m aware these buffs in Main Series Games won’t change the metagame but at least there will be a logic.​CONCLUSIONFor now… with the errors I’ve found and the weird logic, sometimes, Niantic is showing again to have some problems with coding and calculations. And I’m not speaking about new CP changes, it was the same thing with old formulas.Please Niantic, try to fix it and try to be consistent in your maths and calculations. via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2Fv3SqH
