How it works
The formula
- Clearance = centre of mass at take-off (0.55 × height) + rise v²/2g + technique.
- v = 4.65 m/s × √(Attack/100) × (kg/70)^(−1/6) over 70 kg.
- Technique: a Fosbury flop for bipeds (+0.2 m: the bar can pass above the centre of mass); four legs or a serpent's body -0.2 m.
- The bar rises 5 cm at a time, then 3 cm when three or fewer are left; three failures in a row and you're out; ties by countback (failures at the last height, then in all), a jump-off for first.
Inputs: Attack, weight, height and body shape.
Modelled
- Tall Pokémon start high: their centre of mass is already metres up
- Each attempt's day-to-day form
- World Athletics' high jump rules and countback
Not modelled
- The approach's curve and speed (they don't change the result here)
The numbers that turn stats into strength, speed and spring are ours, anchored so a 70 kg athlete with base 100 lands an elite human mark; every constant and its source is in the open in lib/games/constants.ts.
