About the Sheet
All of the info in this sheet should be 100% accurate, because it was obtained via byte copying and using the Stat Scanner for EVs and IVs.
Even if something looks VERY wrong, that's how it is in-game. Though, feel free to report text typos if you ever find those.
Most of the opposing Pokémon's moves in this sheet are PP maxed. If the team has a Paldea Pokémon, it's likely that all the Pokémon in the team have PP maxed moves.
Generally, if a Pokémon has Gyro Ball in its moveset or is part of a Trick Room team, you can safely assume 0 speed IVs.
In Minimal Grinding Mode, opponents don't have EVs. Except for one specific case which is the Ghost Marowak, having 252 HP EVs.
After you become the Champion, every level scale (excluding Postgame trainers) will be two levels higher.
All speed stats are determined based on the point when you're expected to battle with the trainer at that specific juncture in the game.
