DPS and estimated total damage output (TDO) are computed against Necrozma's actual typing and Tier-5 boss stats — each attacker's best fast + charged pairing, ranked by the combined DPS³ × TDO score. Legacy / Elite-TM movesets are excluded. Shadow forms exist for Tyranitar — a Shadow version deals ×1.2 damage (~20% harder) but also takes ×1.2 damage. This is per-boss matchup math, not the neutral-target tier list. Full formula on the methodology page.
