Champions usage data connected (Showdown ladder)
Regulation pages now show monthly Pokémon, move, item, ability and teammate usage from Smogon’s Pokémon Showdown stats.
See it live - Feature
Faster heavy list pages
The full item list is split into per-generation segments, and the TCG Pocket card grid renders incrementally — so neither page mounts thousands of rows at once.

Updated privacy controls and visit counting
Visit counting now works without analytics cookies. The privacy page explains what is collected and how to turn counting off.
See it live - Methodology
GO rankings methodology published
Added an explanation of GO ranking formulas. Raid counters now use each boss’s typing and stats.

Source links and update dates
GO stats, Pocket cards, competitive sets and the Champions roster now show their sources and update dates.

News reader pages deindexed
Aggregated news reader pages no longer ask search engines to index them, and headlines link straight to the original publishers.

Champions regulation model + legality checker
Regulation sets are now first-class data with per-set pages, and a legality checker answers whether any Pokémon is legal in a given regulation.

Move Checker tool
Ask whether any Pokémon can learn any move and get the answer per generation — level-up, TM/HM, egg move, or tutor — with a link you can share.

Teams now live in the URL for sharing, persist locally between visits, and export to Pokémon Showdown format.
