How the profile-fit score works
Scores estimate how well a Nature’s +10% / −10% trade-off aligns with a Pokémon’s base-stat shape. Higher scores mean the raised stat is comparatively more important and the lowered stat is safer to reduce. This is a transparent base-stat profile preference, not a competitive ranking.
