VGC Teambuilder

For a list of Pokémon, count how many are weak to, resist or are immune to each attacking type, and report shared weaknesses, types nothing on the team resists, and defensive types that would patch the most gaps. It considers typing only — not abilities, items or moves — and suggests types, not specific Pokémon. Pass a Mega form's name (e.g. "Charizard-Mega-Y") to analyse its post-Mega typing.

Calculate how much damage one move does from one Pokémon to another in Pokémon Champions doubles: the damage range, the share of the defender's HP, and the chance to knock it out. Use it instead of estimating damage. Any part of a set that is left out is filled in from the regulation's usage statistics and listed under assumptions. A move that hits both opponents is calculated at its reduced doubles damage unless singleTarget is set. This is one calculation, not a battle simulation: it does not account for the rest of the turn, switching or luck beyond the damage roll and critical hits.

Check a team against the Pokémon it is most likely to face in a regulation. For each threat (the most used Pokémon by default, or the ones named) it reports the team's hardest hit into it, its hardest hit into the team, and which team members outspeed it. Each threat uses its most common set in the regulation's usage statistics. Results are single hits with no screens or stat changes, under the weather or terrain the attacker's own ability sets if any. This is not a battle simulation; use calculate_damage to examine one matchup under specific conditions.

Work out the Speed of several Pokémon in Pokémon Champions and the order they move in, including the effect of items such as Choice Scarf, Tailwind, paralysis, stat stages, weather abilities and Trick Room. Use it to answer who outspeeds whom. Any part of a set that is left out is filled in from the regulation's usage statistics and listed under assumptions. Speed decides order only among moves of the same priority.

List the Pokémon that most reliably beat the given Pokémon on the ladder, ranked by Smogon's checks-and-counters score. The data records one-on-one outcomes (a knockout or a forced switch), so in doubles treat it as a rough signal. Pokémon with few recorded matchups have no data.

Compare a regulation's usage between two months: the biggest risers and fallers, Pokémon that newly reached meaningful usage and Pokémon that dropped out. Use it to see how the metagame changed. Needs at least two months of history.

Show how one Pokémon is typically built in a regulation: its usage and rank, and the most common abilities, items, moves and stat spreads as a share of its recorded sets. Spreads use the stat-point scale the ladder records (0–32 per stat in Pokémon Champions).

List the Pokémon that most often share a team with the given Pokémon in a regulation, as the share of its teams that include each one. Use it to find proven partners and cores.

Rank the most-used Pokémon in a regulation by the share of ladder teams they appear on, from the most recent month of usage statistics loaded for that regulation (the month itself is not reported; get_usage_trend shows dated history). Use it to see what a team should expect to face. Mega Evolutions are ranked as separate entries.

Fit a trend to each Pokémon's monthly usage across a range and list the fastest rising, fastest declining and most volatile. These are descriptive trends, not forecasts. Needs at least three months of history in the range; with so few points, treat the result as a direction, not a measurement.

Show one Pokémon's monthly usage and rank in a regulation across a range of months, with its net change and peak. History exists only for months the regulation's ladder was active.

List the Pokémon Champions regulations this connector supports, with each one's id, dates, whether it is current, team rules, number of legal Mega Evolutions and whether usage statistics are available. Use it to find the format value other tools accept and to see which format they use by default.

Get a Pokémon's types, base stats, abilities, weight, alternate forms and any Mega Evolutions legal in the supported regulations (with the Mega's types, ability and base stats). Data comes from Pokémon Showdown; it does not say whether the Pokémon itself is legal in a format — use validate_team for that.

Check whether a Pokémon can learn each of the given moves in any Pokémon game, counting moves inherited from its pre-evolutions and base form. Based on Pokémon Showdown learnset data across all generations, not Pokémon Champions' own move lists: a move learnable only in an older game may not exist in Champions, and a move added only in Champions may be reported as not learnable.

Check a team against a Pokémon Champions regulation: each Pokémon is on the regulation's allowed list, Species Clause, Item Clause, at most four moves each, moves are learnable and abilities belong to the Pokémon. A Mega Evolution named directly (e.g. "Charizard-Mega-Y") is checked as its base Pokémon holding its Mega Stone. It does not check stat spreads or held-item availability. Move data comes from Pokémon Showdown across all generations, not Pokémon Champions' own move lists, so a move from an older game can pass and a Champions-only move can fail.
