Questions to be researched:
- Are friendship boosts applied to Pokemon when playing in the standard rules format for pvp?
New Mechanics
Friendship Multiplier:
- Depending on your friendship with your Pokemon they may receive a 10% boost to all stats except for HP.
- Original EVs no longer used for stat calculation.
- Every stat is capped at a 200 AV boost and 1 AV is equivalent to +1 boost on that stat (ex: Pokemon with an HP stat of 300 + 200 AVs would result in an HP stat of 500 for that Pokemon)
- AVs are gained from candy items.
- AV boosts are applied after the Friendship multiplier to stats.
- Unique moves triggered by your partner Pokemon, power depends on your friendship with your partner and never miss.
- Base power for each move ranges from 1-102 similar to Return.
- If the motions to perform the moves are performed while your Partner Pokemon is not active instead it will raise your active Pokemon's stats by 1 stage.
