Competitive Pokémon ranked by usage

This page indexes every Pokémon picked in the latest Smogon monthly snapshot for the selected format. Each row exposes the Pokémon's usage rate, its top moves, items and abilities at a glance, and a click-through to a dedicated profile (full move/item/ability/spread distributions, base stats, top teammates, checks & counters, and a time-series of its usage). Rates reflect what high-rated Pokémon Showdown players actually pick, no editorial picks, no curation.

The format selector at the top filters the table to a specific tier : Singles (OU, Ubers, UU, RU, NU, PU, LC, Monotype, National Dex), Doubles OU, or the live official VGC regulation. The compact ELO toggle scopes the data to the highest rating bucket the format publishes, so you can see what wins at high level rather than the broad ladder. Click any Pokémon name to open its profile, or use the breadcrumb to jump to the format dashboard.

Rankings reflect what high-rated Pokémon Showdown players actually pick, no editorial picks and no curation, and they refresh every month the moment Smogon publishes a new snapshot. The data is free, needs no account, and is also exposed through Pokékipe's public read API for analysts and team-builders.
