Mirror Shot: evolution and compatible Pokémon

Original game · d567c6da

Upgrade recipe

Mirror Shot L5 + Power this run + one gold evolution choice → Mirror Shot +.

Mirror Shot · L5
Power ×1
Separate gold evolution choices ×1
Mirror Shot +

Still needed: 4 level upgrades · run card needed · gold choice not entered.

Permanent upgrades do not replace the run card. Each evolved move consumes its own gold choice; a ready recipe does not guarantee an offer.

Max level → evolution, with the same Pokémon and resource modifiers

Damage per second: 39.58 → 72.92 · Base power / support per stack: 14.5 → 26.1 · Activation interval: 0.48 → 0.48 s · Emitted count: 2 → 3

The extra max-level + card row and evolution row share the required run card. They show a target after the displayed requirements are met, without adding cards or a gold choice to your current inputs.

More projectiles or contacts increase potential coverage. Single-target damage uses only the hits and uptime you enter.

DPS uses the entered contacts and target availability. Extra projectiles do not guarantee extra hits on one target. Only the support stacks entered as currently active are applied.

Upgrade order and alternatives

Mirror Shot: level 1 → 5, obtain Power, then select its separate gold evolution.

Until the missing resources are obtained, keep the real starting move Thunder Shock at level 1 with 0 Bonds.

Move-level growth at the same conditions

Separate status damage: 0 DPS · Status DPS after one modeled group contact: 0 DPS

Burn and poison are shown separately. Shared stack limits prevent counting the same status once per move. This plan assumes the listed support stays active. Downtime or switching groups can reduce the benefit.

Inputs without a complete version use the displayed rules. Check the edition and build before comparing.

Attack behavior diagram

Projectiles rebound between different targets

Count: 1 · Projectile speed: 340 world units/s · Additional bounces: 3

Schematic, not a collision simulation. Symbols and distances illustrate behavior; the values below are game data.

Details

Each projectile can rebound to unhit enemies within 220 world units. Bounce count is additional targets after the first hit, not repeated hits on the same enemy.

Level-up card effects

Levels	Effect

4	Cooldown ×0.75
5	Count +1 · Additional bounces +1 · Spread ×1.3

Levels

These are the initialized move parameters at each level, before player upgrades, type effectiveness and weather. Damage is per hit, not universal single-target DPS. Full-circle arcs display as 360°.

Current evolved attacks

All 97 original evolved moves now display their base localized name followed by “ +”. Requirements and evolution modifiers stay the same; previous names remain searchable aliases. Meteor Mash is now damage 24, radius 48 and knockback 70 (previously 34/54/80); cooldown 1.4 s and count 2 are unchanged. Every level and evolved output is calculated from this updated base.

Original and embedded edition

These additions apply to the pinned original release 1a52cc838c. The embedded community game uses its separate published rules snapshot: its Meteor Mash and legacy evolution names are retained by the Community model, and the new original-only Orbs, Plate scoring and item-break assumptions are not applied to it.

TM compatibility

Only the listed compatible, off-type TMs can add new moves. Type + Normal natural moves need no TM. Teaching consumes one unused TM permanently; known moves cannot be taught twice. Taught moves join level-up cards and non-buff starting choices. Compatibility alone does not mean already learned.

Abilities

HP, weather and target conditions are explicit inputs. Ability startup precedes cards/items. Frame-based random/proc effects are reported separately; sustained DPS still needs your hit/occupancy assumptions. Hustle expectation averages rounded weak/normal branches. Absorb/dodge grant 0.3s invulnerability; pure damage bypasses them.
