    Default Add MD's Low Kick tier to List of Pokémon by Weight?

    Just a quick background: just like in the main series games, Low Kick (and Grass Knot) do variable damage based on Pokédex weight in MD. Unlike the main series, however, the move does not work on variable base power; instead, the move has fixed base power, and the damage dealt is pushed through a weight-based multiplier: anywhere from 153/256 to 358/256. There are 9 such tiers (153, 179, 204, 230, 256, 281, 307, 332, and 358) in MD1, and the same tiers (not sure if there are any others) exist in MD2. These tiers thus invariably split a main series Low Kick tier (for example, the highest tier is for Pokémon heavier than Tyranitar, but Tyranitar is in the middle of its main series tier), as there are fewer tiers in the main series.

    The question is, should we include the MD Low Kick tiers to the List of Pokémon by weight page?

    I feel that adding Mystery Dungeon to that list is very reasonable. There aren't many things based on weight anyway.

    It's encyclopedic. I say go for it.

    Just for reference:

    153/256 tier (60%) - Starly (20kg) and everything lighter. Also, for some odd reason, Victreebel, despite being 45.5kg.
    179/256 tier (70%) - Everyone 20kg-29.0kg (except Starly, as noted above)
    204/256 tier (80%) - Everyone 30kg-39.9kg
    230/256 tier (90%) - Everyone 40kg-49.8kg (except Victreebel, as noted above)
    256/256 tier (100%) - Everyone 50.2kg-59.6kg. Presumably, a G5 MD would also put Zweilous (50kg) here.
    281/256 tier (110%) - Everyone 60kg-68.2kg weight category.
    307/256 tier (120%) - Everyone 70.5kg-79.5kg weight category. Presumably, a G5 MD would put Bisharp (70kg) in here.
    332/256 tier (130%) - Everyone 80kg-199kg
    358/256 tier (140%) - Everyone heavier than Tyranitar (202kg). Presumably, a G5 MD would put Crustle, Virizion, and Scolipede (200kg-200.5kg) here.

    Primal Dialga also belongs to the 60% tier, which is unique for a boss.

    I think it'd be a good idea, but G5 Pokemon shouldn't be included until a new MD game is released.

    Given that Gen V Pokémon are already on the page and we can't remove them, the only sensible thing to do is wait until a Gen 5 Mystery Dungeon comes out.
