Fixed trainer floors

The Classic page names the floors that are not a random boss. Wave 8 is the first rival. Gym leaders sit on 20/30, 50/60, 80/90, 110/120, and 140/150, plus a sixth on 170/180. The Elite Four is 182, 184, 186, and 188. Wave 190 is the Champion. Wave 195 is the sixth rival. Wave 200 is Eternatus. Evil-team grunts, admins, and the leader fill 35, 62/64, 66, 112/114, 115, and the 164/165 rematch.

Boss shields

Breaking a shield takes overflow damage that doubles each layer: 2×, 4×, 8×, 16×, 32× for one through five layers. Level 100 or a base stat total of 670 adds a layer. Endless adds a layer every 250 waves. The Daily final boss is fixed at five layers. Bosses ignore Destiny Bond, Perish Song, Pain Split, Endeavor, and one-hit KO effects. A one-hit KO move is treated as 250 power. The final boss cannot lose every shield to a single hit.
