Stamina — one of three IV stats. Drives HP. Higher STA = bigger health pool.
STA (Stamina) is the IV stat that determines HP. The formula: HP = floor((Sta_base + Sta_IV) × CPM). Each +1 STA IV at L40 = roughly +0.8 HP.
In PvP STA is half the bulk equation (DEF × STA = effective bulk). In raids STA matters less than ATK — bulky mons just die slower to the same boss.
Gym defenders need maxed STA — a 15/15/15 Blissey can hold a gym for 8+ days. Wild STA bonuses (e.g. weather boost) directly translate to extra HP on the catch screen.
