The system is designed so that the totals of all the relative representations of each Pokémon can be used to measure the degree of skew within that tier. If every Pokémon is being used equally within a tier, the total can be proven to be at the minimum value.

Each Pokémon also has a '''fair share of relative representation''', which is simply the relative representation if each Pokémon within that tier were to be used equally. For a tier with ''n'' Pokémon in it, this is simply equal to the following:

If a Pokémon is used much more than its fair share, it becomes promoted to a higher tier. If a Pokémon is used much less than its fair share, it becomes demoted to a lower tier. This is expressed in terms of a ratio to the fair share. The current cutoffs, as of February 2011, are:
