$317 \times 287 = 90{,}979$

Why this formula appears here

The gap between the two naive strategies a trainer might reach for instead and this corner is not small. Dumping the entire budget into Attack alone (252 Attack, 0 Speed) yields a sweep index of 359 $\times$ 264 = 94{,}776 ; splitting the 510-point budget evenly across all six stats (85 EVs each) yields Attack 317, Speed 287, and a sweep index of 317 $\times$ 287 = 90{,}979 . The corner solution’s 359 $\times$ 333 = 119{,}547 beats the first naive baseline by 26.1 percent and the second by 31.4 percent on this article’s own measure — a real, computed gap, not a rhetorical one.
