What these stats mean

Power, energy, duration, DPS and the PvP numbers

Power: Base damage each use deals before type and stat multipliers.
Energy: Energy the move costs to fire.
Duration: Animation time. You cannot dodge or attack during it.
DPS: Damage per second — power × 1000 / duration.
PvP stats: GO Battle League runs on 0.5s turns with its own power and energy values, so they differ from the raid numbers.
