Calculating DPS with dodges

Hi,

would it be possible to calculate DPS with dodges?
Dodging every attach make a huge differnce, but to do that, you can't spam attacks.

For example, in 2 sec between enemy atack you can use "bug bite" 4 times, but "poison jab" only one. In that case, bug bite still have 10 DPS, but poison jab get only 6 DPS.

What do you think about it?

The problem is that you can't reliably calculate DPS like that because it depends on whom you're attacking against. Also, it depends on the move the defender has, if the move is low base damage but high attack speed (like water gun) you can often just ignore it due to low defensive DPS.

For this very reason, faster attacks are generally considered better for attacking since it's easier to adapt to defenders attack cycle. Slower attacks on the other hand are better for defending.

Well, actually it's not reliably either, cause sometimes you have to dodge (when you are attacking much stronger pokemon).

Enemy pokemon always have 2 sec cooldown, and for simplicity you can ignore charge attack. Important thing is how much dps you have in 2 sec gap between enemy attacks.

That way there will be two optimal movesets, for spamming attacks (like now) and for dodging.
I found it very difficult to defeat enemy pokemon with much higher CP (1200 vs 2100 for example), because while spamming, cause i often couldn't dodge his charge attack. While dodging i had no problems.

It's not 2 seconds, it's move cooldown + 2 seconds

Also you have to add in a .1 or .2 second factor in delay when you are issuing attack/dodge command

This is why you can reliably get in only 2 water guns vs defense water gun if you dodge. 3 vs fire fang. 4 vs zen headbutt
