What this part means

The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.

Its job in the formula

The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

The passage around this formula

The theorem that 510 points can buy at most 127 stat points is only interesting if it is possible to fail it, and the pkmn/smogon archive of Smogon’s own historical movesets [ 8 ] turns up exactly one Garchomp spread, out of every generation and every competitive tier checked, that does. A Generation 5 Monotype set titled “Defensive Entry Hazard Support (Dragon)” runs 252 HP, 162 Defense, and 94 Speed — 508 total points invested, the same total as both of the currently maintained Generation 9 sets above. But ⌊\lfloor 252/4 ⌋\rfloor + ⌊\lfloor 162/4 ⌋\rfloor + ⌊\lfloor 94/4 ⌋\rfloor = 63+40+23 = 126 , one stat point short of the 127-point ceiling the same 508-point total achieves everywhere else…
