What is ATK in-game?
Attack — one of three IV stats. Drives every move's raw damage output. Higher ATK = higher DPS.
Attack — one of three IV stats. Drives every move's raw damage output. Higher ATK = higher DPS.
ATK (Attack) is the IV stat that scales the damage of every fast and charged move. Each species has a base ATK stat; the IV (0-15) is added on top before CPM scales it.
For raid attackers a 15 ATK IV is non-negotiable — even a 14 ATK costs you measurable damage over a 180-second raid. For PvP, ATK is often deliberately low (rank 1 spreads frequently have 0 ATK) because lower ATK lets you stuff more level + bulk under a CP cap.
The appraisal screen shows ATK first — bar color (red = 15) and segment count tell you the exact value.
