How did I win the "body" criterion in this Arena battle?
In case you didn’t know, Emerald has a facility called the Battle Arena. There, if three turns pass and nothing faints, then the referee forces a Pokemon to faint through judging. One criterion that gets judged is called “body”, which is the fraction of HP that the Pokemon has left. If the Pokemon’s fraction is greater than its opponent’s, then the Pokemon gets two points. If they’re equal, then the Pokemon gets one point. If it’s less, then the Pokemon gets 0 points. Once, I battled a Haunter with my Camerupt. After three turns, my Camerupt was missing some of its HP, while the Haunter’s HP was full. When they got judged, both Pokemon were given one point in the “body” category. Why did that happen?

I might as well answer it myself because I was the one who first found the correct answer.
Body judges the amount of HP remaining at the end of the third round compared to their amount at the start of the first. The Pokémon with the better ratio wins the two points in the overall judgment.
