Yeah, I've been using the Psypoke stat and damage calculators. I feel it's the best way for me to make unbiased decisions about battles, but that's just my opinion. Keep in mind that avatars have half the stats of their respective Pokemon. Anyone can run the numbers themselves if they want to take the time.

On that note, make sure you're updating your avatar and Pokemons' levels and moves in your character sheet. It may make a difference in battles against NPCs.

EDIT: After seeing the quote several times, I finally just realized the leader should've said "[i]whom[/i] you're cheering for". -_- Oh well. Terrorists don't have to be grammatically accurate.
