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.
