Power = share of the Rocket Pokemon's HP you remove per share of your own HP lost (2 = you win with half your HP left; under 1 = you faint first; capped at 10), to three decimals so near-ties show. Wins = share of fights won over every Pokemon and moveset counted. Time = fast-attack time (turns x 0.5 s) and the charged attacks thrown by both sides. Each charged attack also pauses the battle for its minigame, so a counter that needs three charged attacks takes longer in real time than one that wins on fast attacks alone, even when its seconds look similar.

No single Pokemon beats everything this slot can roll: the best all-rounder wins 38% of its fights here. That is real, not an averaging artefact — Kangaskhan, Rhyperior, Machamp want different answers — so the best counter for each one is listed under the table. You see which one you face before you choose.
