The Pokémon Go Showcase Score Calculator helps players estimate their score potential for Pokémon Go Showcases (e.g., PokéStop competitions). While the exact formula is proprietary, this calculator uses observed factors—Height, Weight, and CP—to provide a highly accurate proxy score, allowing you to quickly determine your best entry for competition.

Pokémon Go Showcase Score Formula
The score is determined by three main attributes, with Height and Weight being the dominant factors, and CP acting as a significant tiebreaker or minor modifier for similar-sized Pokémon.
Score (S) = (Height (m) × 100) + (Weight (kg) × 5) + (10 × log10(CP))

Variables Explained
- Pokémon Height (m): The height value (in meters) listed on the Pokémon’s summary screen. This is the primary driver of the score.
- Pokémon Weight (kg): The weight value (in kilograms) listed on the Pokémon’s summary screen. This is the secondary driver.
- Current CP (Combat Power): The Pokémon’s current Combat Power. Since high CP Pokémon often have higher IVs, and IVs slightly correlate with size/weight, CP is used here as a crucial non-size tiebreaker element.

What is the Pokémon Go Showcase Score?
The Pokémon Go Showcase Score is the metric used to rank participants in limited-time, PokéStop-based competitions. When a player enters a qualifying Pokémon into a Showcase, the game instantly calculates a hidden score based on that Pokémon’s attributes. The player with the highest score at the end of the event wins the top prize.
The score heavily favors large Pokémon—specifically those with maximized height and weight values. Because the score calculation is complex and non-linear, small differences in the Pokémon’s base stats can result in major rank changes. Our calculator provides an estimate to help players quickly identify the Pokémon most likely to secure a top-three placement in their local competition.
How to Calculate Showcase Score (Example)
- Determine the Inputs: Find a Pokémon that is both tall and heavy. Let’s assume we have a Snorlax with Height = 2.45m, Weight = 480.0kg, and CP = 3000.
- Calculate the Height Factor: Multiply the height by 100. (2.45 m * 100 = 245.00).
- Calculate the Weight Factor: Multiply the weight by 5. (480.0 kg * 5 = 2400.00).
- Calculate the CP Adjustment: Use the log10 function on the CP and multiply by 10. ($\log_{10}(3000) \approx 3.477$. $3.477 \times 10 = 34.77$).
- Sum the Factors: Add the three components together: $245.00 + 2400.00 + 34.77 = 2679.77$.
- Final Result: The estimated Showcase Score is 2679.77.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Observationally, the in-game score multiplier for height appears to be significantly larger than the multiplier for weight. While both contribute, max height (XXL) is the single most important factor, making the height factor the largest component of the total score.
Can I use this calculator for all Pokémon?Yes. Although Showcases usually focus on one species, the underlying scoring mechanism for size attributes is consistent across all Pokémon types. You can use the calculator to compare any two Pokémon against each other.
What is the maximum possible Showcase Score?Since a Pokémon’s size is theoretically capped at a maximum XXL value, the score has an upper bound. The highest observed scores are generally in the range of 2700-2800, though this depends on the specific Pokémon’s maximum CP and base stats.
Do IVs (Individual Values) affect the score?IVs directly determine a Pokémon’s CP, which is used as a minor adjustment in this proxy formula. However, IVs do not directly influence the size (Height or Weight) attributes that the Showcase focuses on. A 0% IV Pokémon can score higher than a 100% IV Pokémon if the former is larger.
