Pokemon Sleep calculators can be a great way to get a general idea of how functional your Helper Pokemon is. In this guide, we will show you how to utilize two popular rating calculators in the community to assess the quality of your Helper Pokemon.

Pokemon Sleep Calculators: What They Are & How to Use Them

1. RaenoX’s Rate My Pokemon Calculator

The first widely adopted calculator by the Pokemon Sleep community is RaenoX’s Rate My Pokemon. While it may seem complex at first, it offers a comprehensive assessment of your Helper Pokemon.

  • Select a Species: Start by choosing the species of your Helper Pokemon.
  • Input Traits and Attributes: Provide information about your Pokemon, including its Berry and Ingredients, Sub Skills, and Nature. You can also specify the Research Area and the criteria for rating (Total Strength, Ingredient Count, Ingredient Strength, or Skill Trigger Value).
  • Calculate Rating: After entering all details, hit the big purple button with a beaker icon to calculate your Helper Pokemon’s rating.
  • Understanding the Ratings:

    • PR (Percentile Rank): Higher is better. Most Trainers primarily evaluate their Pokemon based on PR.
    • Relative Strength: Represented by an up/down arrow icon, higher is better. It shows the Strength difference between your rated Pokemon and a Pokemon of the same species without any Sub Skills or Nature.
    • Rank: Lower is better. For example, a ranking of 45/425 means your specific Helper Pokemon is rated 45th out of 425 possible combinations.
    • Percent: Higher is better. It indicates your Helper Pokemon’s position on a scale of the best and worst possible combinations of its species.
  • Level Consideration: Note that ratings are sorted into different boxes by level. Some Helper Pokemon become stronger as they level up, while others may lag behind. Be mindful of this when investing in a Helper Pokemon.

2. Pokemon Sleep Grader

If you prefer a simpler calculator, Pokemon Sleep Grader offers an easy-to-use alternative.

  • Enter Pokemon Details: Input your Pokemon’s species, Nature, and Sub Skills.
  • Calculate Score: Click the “Calculate Score” button.
  • Rating Output:

    • Score: Higher is better. This numerical score reflects your Helper Pokemon’s overall quality.
    • Grade: Ranging from F to S, with higher grades indicating better Pokemon.
    • Percentile: A numerical representation of your Pokemon’s position within its species and attributes.

Rating calculators can help you make informed decisions about your Helper Pokemon in Pokemon Sleep. This can lead to a more effective and powerful team. However, it’s important to remember that these calculators are just a tool. They provide a general idea of how good your Pokemon is, but they shouldn’t be taken as absolute truth. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide whether to keep or send a lowly-rated Helper Pokemon to the Professor.
