Judging

When the match is undecided by the end of the third round, the result is judged. For each category, the Pokemon with the highest rating earns two judging points; in case of a tie, each Pokemon earns 1 judging point.

Mind

To determine the Mind rating, certain attacks chosen for use by Pokemon are given points, as shown here.

  • If the move is Protect, Detect, Endure, or Fake Out, subtract 1 point.
  • If the move is Counter, Mirror Coat, or Bide, add 0 points.
  • For all other moves:
    • If the move has a base damage of 0, add 0 points.
    • If the move has a base damage of 1 or more, add 1 point.

Skill

To determine the Skill rating, add 1 point for each time a Pokemon successfully used an attack and 2 points if the attack was "super effective" against the opponent. Subtract 1 point if the attack was "not very effective" against the opponent, and 2 points for each case that an attack that a Pokemon used fails or misses, except if the opponent protected itself from the move due to Protect or Detect. (This includes moves used by other moves. If Snatch is used, the Pokemon who receives the Skill rating change is the ultimate user of the attack being snatched. The Skill rating is unaffected if the Pokemon is "storing energy" due to Bide. Apparently, if the Pokemon couldn't use Focus Punch because it "lost its focus", this is treated as a success.)

Body

The Body rating for a Pokemon is (((HP remaining at end)*100)/(HP remaining at beginning)). A Pokemon's starting HP is set to its current HP each time a Pokemon on either side becomes active.
