Charizard:
Red: Spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. Known to cause forest fires unintentionally.
Stadium: Its fiery breath reaches incredible temperatures. It can quickly melt glaciers weighing 10,000 tons.
LeafGreen: It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It may cause forest fires by blowing flames.
Alright now we're getting somewhere. I could've sworn there were calcs for both of these feats floating around on the wiki somewhere...
Your memory is mostly correct! This WAS calculated already, minus the "melting boulders" part. May be worthwhile to look into that.

Unfortunately, unlike the contentious mountain-melting feat, I'm not sure any of the comments indicated acceptance of the glacier-melting part. Could someone go check on that, in case we need a Calc Group Member to evaluate that, please?
Curious where reshiram's atmosphere stuff and kyurem freezing unova come from.
Weekly clarified that Reshiram's stuff is from the Pokedex, but for context, these may be useful:
White | When Reshiram’s tail flares, the heat energy moves the atmosphere and changes the world’s weather. |
---|
Black 2
White 2 | This legendary Pokémon can scorch the world with fire. It helps those who want to build a world of truth. |
---|
Sword | Flames spew from its tail as it flies through the sky like a jet airplane. It’s said that this Pokémon will scorch the world. |
---|
Shield | According to myth, if people ignore truth and let themselves become consumed by greed, Reshiram will arrive to burn their kingdoms down. |

Is it possible to calc ampharos' "visible from space" light?
Thankfully, Weekly's intuition/memory was correct once again:
From Ampharos's Attack Potency section:
Published by KaiserWombat in the blog KaiserWombat's blog. Views: 1
web.archive.org
SOMEONE PLEASE KEEP THAT LINK HANDY IN CASE REVISIONS OMIT THAT FROM JUSTIFICATION.
May also be good to import that feat's calc to a blog on our own site, if that's a valid thing to do.
In searching for the Calc (I didn't find it when searching for Ampharos in blogs on VSBW initially so I Googled for calculations of the feat.), I also found this:
Pokemon #181, Ampharos, currently holds a rather special, warm, cuddly place in my heart amongst the various pocket monsters, for rather inexplicable reasons. I blame you, Island! Anywho, I've always been rather fascinated and (prior to this...
www.fanverse.org
It may be worth considering. It appears to be a separate backup of the archived calc used in Ampharos's profile's current justification.
Butterfree:
Ultra Moon: Nectar from pretty flowers is its favorite food. In fields of flowers, it has heated battles with Cutiefly for territory.
Gigantamax Butterfree:
Shield: Once it has opponents trapped in a tornado that could blow away a 10-ton truck, it finishes them off with its poisonous scales.
Unsure where our other documentation on the topic is, if any, but this may be useful:
Throughout fiction and real life, there have been numerous feats demonstrating a certain character's or object's destructive power. This page's purpose is to consolidate calculations for those feats for better convenience in determining an object's or character's Attack Potency or Durability...

There’s also Cleffa’s
8-C feat that
may or may not be useable.
Why would it not be useable? A lot of the Pokedex entries make it plausible that Cleffa arrived on a meteor, Minior specifically.
Silver | When numerous meteors illuminate the night sky, sightings of CLEFFA strangely increase. |
---|
LeafGreen | Because of its unusual, starlike silhouette, people believe that it came here on a meteor. |
---|
Ultra Moon | Said to have ridden here on a shooting star, Cleffa seem to appear in places where meteorites have struck in the past. |
---|
Moon | Because of its silhouette, it’s believed to be a star reborn. For some reason, it loves Minior. |
---|
So even if it's not Minior specifically, it's still some kind of meteor very likely. & at 30 cm in size, roughly a sphere & 40 kg, Minior is a somewhat light meteor.
30 cm diameter sphere has a volume of about 0.0141371669 m3.
Using the 3,000-3,700 kg/m3 density of meteors from our own
Calculations page: 0.0141371669 m3 * 3,000 kg/m3 = 42.4115007 kg. (Minimum meteor density per our own Calculations page, as a low end.)
47.3595091 kilograms with 3,350 kg/m3 density (Average end.)
52.3075175 kilograms with 3,700 kg/m3 density (High end.)
Also, the ONLY location where Minior is found in the games, to this date is Mount Hokulani, is also where Cleffa is found & several in-game locations with meteor landings have Cleffa or members of its line.
Nidoking:
Emerald: A Nidoking's thick tail packs enormously destructive power capable of toppling a metal transmission tower. Once it goes on a rampage, there is no stopping it.
Toppling as in knocking over, or smashing to bits? Original Japanese version of this entry may be helpful.
Tentacool?
Sapphire | Tentacool absorbs sunlight and refracts it using water inside its body to convert it into beam energy. This Pokémon shoots beams from its crystal-like eyes. |
---|
FireRed | Its eyes are as transparent as crystals. From them, it shoots mysterious beams of light. |
---|
Alpha Sapphire | Tentacool absorbs sunlight and refracts it using water inside its body to convert it into beam energy. This Pokémon shoots beams from the small round organ above its eyes. |
---|
Could justify some good speed feats if anything has reacted to this
Unfortunately, I doubt there are much in the way of reacting to this in the games, due to the nature of their medium. (In a cruel twist of irony, Tentacool appeared to do something like this in the anime, in a rather infamous episode, long before these entries debuted in the anime. I wonder if this was mentioned in the official, Japan-only Pokedex book? IIRC, some initially seemingly odd things in the anime ended up being referenced to info often not found outside of that book.)
For what its worth, Tentacool does seem to have a move analogous to the feats in these Pokedex entries in Aurora Beam:
lack/White
Black 2/White 2 | The target is hit with a rainbow-colored beam. This may also lower the target’s Attack stat. |
---|
It's not 100% on if it's Light Manipulation or not, IIRC. Unsure if the anime portrays it as such, & despite the games not contradicting such a notion, I think it's been established we're disallowing such being used as supporting evidence.
Golem:
Red | Its boulder-like body is extremely hard. It can easily withstand dynamite blasts without damage. |
---|
Silver | It is capable of blowing itself up. It uses this explosive force to jump from mountain to mountain. |
---|
Crystal | Its rock-like body is so durable, even high-powered dynamite blasts fail to scratch its rugged hide. |
---|
To get more than Wall Level for moving 300 kg, it'd need to be huge distances, IIRC.
vsbattles.fandom.com
Tragically disappointing.
Unsure if calculating how strong the explosion itself would need to be to launch Golem would yield results any different.
Hopefully this helps.
