How it works
The formula
- Water speed = 2.2 m/s × (Speed/100)^0.6 × an aquatic factor.
- Aquatic factor: Water types and the Water 1/2/3 egg groups 1; Fire, Rock and Ground types 0.4 (they sink or hate water); everyone else 0.55; a fish- or fin-shaped body × 1.15.
- Swift Swim doubles Speed (its real effect), only with the rain on.
- The start: a reaction, a dive (speed from Attack), a glide; stamina fades after 25 m from HP.
Inputs: Speed, Attack, HP, weight, length, types, egg groups, Swift Swim and body shape.
Modelled
- A 50 m pool, eight lanes
- Big bodies reach further at the start and the turn
Not modelled
- Strokes other than freestyle
- Drafting off a neighbour
This field's aquatic factors
- Barraskewda: Water type (1) × Fish-shaped body (1.15) = 1.15
- Eternatus: Not a water Pokémon (0.55) = 0.55
- Iron Bundle: Water type (1) = 1.00
- Greninja: Water type (1) = 1.00
- Gyarados: Water type (1) × Fin (Water 2 egg group) (1.15) = 1.15
- Sharpedo: Water type (1) × Fish-shaped body (1.15) = 1.15
- Wailord: Water type (1) × Fish-shaped body (1.15) = 1.15
- Kilowattrel: Water egg group (1) = 1.00
The numbers that turn stats into strength, speed and spring are ours, anchored so a 70 kg athlete with base 100 lands an elite human mark; every constant and its source is in the open in lib/games/constants.ts.
