  • 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.

  • Policy

    Visit counting now works without analytics cookies. The privacy page explains what is collected and how to turn counting off.

  • Feature

    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.
