  1. Michal Shingler Dr. Bennett Intro to Data Analytics Stat Balancing of 1st Generation PokemonGo!

  2. Introductory Questions • Are the original 151 Pokémon in the initial release of PokemonGo properly balanced? • Is there enough information to confidently conclude whether the Pokémon are indeed balanced or not?

  3. Data Intro • Original dataset • Given basic characteristics of each Pokémon • Name • Number • Type’s 1 and 2 (if applicable) • Max CP (Combat Power) • Max HP (Hit Points) • Image URL

  4. Cleaning • Sorted into two new worksheets: • ”Sorted-CP” in which the data was sorted by greatest to least Max CP • “Sorted-HP” in which the data was sorted by greatest to least Max HP • Removed the “Image URL” entirely as it was irrelevant and clunky

  5. Discovery • There was speculation that the Pokémon with the water typing had a substantially higher Max CP and Max HP than any other types. • This lead to the discovery that water Pokémon may be unbalanced.

  6. Max Values

  7. Analysis  Discovery • It was true that the water type Pokémon did have the highest Max CP and highest Max HP • However, this type also had the highest amount of Pokémon within it

  8. Conclusions • Is the original 1st generation of Pokémon in PokemonGo! unbalanced? • Yes, being that the water type had a significantly higher Max CP and Max HP stats and much more Pokémon than any other typing group. • Any individual who played the game actively and took advantage of the potential for water type Pokémon would have a great advantage against players with Pokémon of other types.

  9. Moving Forward • With the advancement of this very popular game, and new generations of Pokémon coming out with each passing year, uncovering the balancing methods and analyzing them would be extremely interesting.
