1) Select the game generation you are looking to battle in.
2) Choose your Pokemon from the list to automatically load it's default base stat information.

4) If you plan to use any defensive stat boosting moves, adjust the bonus modifiers.
5) Decide your bias. Meaning whether you'd like to split your defensives more one way than the other (ex: Take more physical hits than special).
