About the Pokémon Showdown ladder rankings
This page mirrors the live Pokémon Showdown ladder — the top 500 rated players of every tracked format — refreshed every four hours. Each row shows the player's current rating so you can see who's at the top of a metagame right now, not weeks ago.
Rankings are per format, so you can switch between Smogon singles tiers, Doubles OU and the live VGC regulations to read the leaderboard for the exact ruleset you play. Click any player to open their full profile and the formats they're active in.
The ladder is the live counterpart to Pokékipe's usage stats: usage tells you what the field is running, the ladder tells you who's running it best. See /guides for how Pokémon Showdown's rating and the climb actually work.
