Choice Specs Stats Per Level

How to Upgrade Items

Increases by 21% of your Sp. Attack

Not only will the item give a bonus of (40/50/60) to the Move, it will also have an additional increase in damage by 21% of the Pokemon's Sp. Attack stat.

8 Second Cooldown

This item goes on an 8-second cooldown after taking effect. It's important to take note of this cooldown as your moves won't always deal additional damage.

Damage Bonus Only Affects 1 Pokemon

If you are using an AOE Move, you will only affect one of the opposing Pokemon that gets hit by the Move. The rest of the Pokemon that were also hit will take the normal amount of damage of the move.

Damage Bonus Does Not Increase Healing

The damage bonus effect does not increase the HP recovered when using healing moves.

Choice Specs Test

Bonus Damage Test

For this test, we verified how much damage bonus Choice Specs gives per move. We equipped Gardevoir with a Lvl.30 Choice Specs and a Lvl.1 Sp. Atk. Specs (Special Attack +8 per goal), and took note of how much damage Future Sight deals with those items.

The result shows that, with 0 → 6 goals scored, the damage increased by 48 (8x6), and the additional damage has increased by 19. The damage depending on the Special Attack is 19 ÷ (48) ≒ 0.396. In this case, the bonus damage Choice Specs gives is about 40%.

Cooldown Test

Time	Damage
9:00	1634
8:59	1174
8:58	1174
8:57	1174
8:56	1174
8:55	1174
8:54	1174
8:53	1174
8:52	1634

This test is to determine the time it takes for the bonus damage to take effect again after an initial activation. After testing, we found that it has an 8-second cooldown.

Multiple Targets Test

We also tried using an AoE move like Psychic to grouped enemies like the Vespiquen and Combees in the middle of lanes. Even if the move hits 4 enemies at the same time, the bonus damage only affects only 1 enemy.

Bonus Damage Healing Test

Without Bonus Damage	With Bonus Damage
622 HP Recovered	622 HP Recovered

This test is to determine if the bonus damage effect also increases the HP recovered by moves. After testing, we found that the bonus damage effect does not increase the HP recovered by moves.

Healing Only Increased Due to the Sp. Atk. Boost

Without Choice Specs	With Choice Specs
610 HP Recovered	622 HP Recovered

Much like Wise Glasses, the HP recovered only increased due to the Sp. Atk. stat boost from the item.
