STAB marks moves that share a type with this form (x1.2 damage), and the DPS and DPE columns above already have that x1.2 in them — so a STAB move and a stronger-on-paper neutral move can be compared straight down the column, which is how the best-moveset cards rank them too. Power and Duration stay raw; hover a DPS or DPE figure to see the arithmetic. Att DPS and Def DPS are the two columns pokebattler.com prints in the same table, reproduced exactly: both are raw with no STAB, Def DPS is power / duration, and Att DPS is power / (duration + 2s), the gym move delay. They are there so this table can be diffed against theirs row by row — every row on the pages read on 2026-09-11 matches. Energy is gained on fast moves and spent on charged moves. Every move name opens its own page with the damage window and every other form that learns it — or browse all moves.
