New Highest TrueDPS per Type

Hello Pokemon Go Trainers,

Some time ago after the CP changes I made an excel sheet to calculate highest DPS per type as we didn't have the ranking set here yet.
Now I can compare with the new ranking available at Highest DPS Per Type Tab and some results are different.
I wonder if someone could check my math to see if I took a wrong turn at some point.
If you don't like math talk, please stop here as it can get boring for you from here on.

To calculate DPS of a move, first I use the formula rounddown(0,5power(atk/def)*stab)+1 than I multiply (1000/cooldown). For neat results, I assume def = 190 (top tier defenders Lapras and Snorlax).
To combine fast and charged moves I use an if formula to test if charged move dps is higher than fast move dps. If not, the result is simply fast move dps. The other case is where all the fun is.
To calculate a combined fast and charged move dps, first I need the amount of times a fast move needs to be used to charge the bar enough to allow a charged attack. So, thinking of that, I used a formula that looks like ((fast atk damage per use * taps to fill the bar just enough to release its specific charged atk) + charged atk damage per use) * (1000 / ((fast atk cooldown * taps) + charged atk cooldown)).

So, what can you guys tell me about that?

My sheet tells me that Venusaur has the best DPS for grass type with Vine Whip and Solar Beam, Tangela comes second with the same moves and Victreebel third with Razor Leaf and Solar Beam.
And the best DPS for bugs is with Scyther with Fury Cutter and Bug Buzz. Pinsir is the second best with Fury Cutter and X-Scissor.

Thanks for your time and patience to read all these and sorry if someone got bored.

Let's keep on training!

I might be mistaken, but I think the damage formula has nothing to do with the DPS calculation.
DPS = Power/Cooldown

The damage formula calculates the loss of hp the enemys' pokemon gets when you attack. Doesn't it?

I see, well let's say I'm trying to get real battle results per second.

Ok I recognized it as TrueDPS. :)
There is missing a ")" in your special formula or one "(" too much. Just like u want it^^.
I think gamepress just uses the highest TrueDPS per type in quick and charge move. I am still thinking about your special formula. Anyway, nice work!
Two questions so far: Why multiplicate 1000? You obviously assume attacker and defender has the same cp multiplier, don't you?

Found it and corrected it. Thank you for you time \o/.
1000 because move sets are in ms, so 1 s = 1000 ms, just to have the answer in seconds, otherwise i'd have to call it TrueDPmS, right? :D
And yeah cpm is the same. I had to make at least one assumption :P

I can't find any mistakes in your thought. I also can't find anything to criticize. This is really good work. Thanks for that! I should create that calculation chart, too. :)

Your methodology seems sound, and your grass results seem to reflect my experiences - Tangela has been a big winner.

I can confirm that. Tangela...from wiener to winner.

Just saw Trainer Tips video and he confirms my results also. Don't forget, you saw it here first. :D
Just kidding. I'm glad to see that working out. :)
