How would you calculate if a Pokemon makes a good tank, sweeper etc?

Apr. 20, 2011

I’m thinking of adding a new dex page similar tohttp://pokemondb.net/pokedex/allwhere it shows combinations of stats. Instead of Attack/Defense it would have Sweeper/Tank/Wall.

So my question is, what are all the different categories I could list, and how you you calculate their stats?

I have this so far:- Physical Sweeper: Attack + Speed- Special Sweeper: Special Attack + Speed- Wall: HP + Defense + Special Defense

For tanks I’m not sure. Would a physical tank be only Attack + Defense, or Attack + Defense + SpDefense + HP?

It depends a physical tank has Attack but any combo of Defenses Tyranitar has ideal tank stats for physical. Milotic has ideal tank stats for Special. I would say Attack + Defense + SpDefense + HP but with exceptions like Steelix and Gardevoir.
