About the SV Anything Goes metagame

This page tracks the SV Anything Goes metagame from Smogon's monthly public statistics, derived from millions of rated battles played on Pokémon Showdown. Beyond the raw usage ranking and its monthly delta, Pokékipe computes the parts the source files do not contain: the top movers of the month measured against each Pokémon's own history, the recurring team cores derived from co-usage, the speed tiers that decide who moves first, and the tournament results that show whether the ladder and the competitive circuit agree.

Every Pokémon row is clickable and opens a per-format profile : top moves, items, abilities, EV spreads, teammates and checks & counters. The compact ELO toggle at the top right switches between ALL ladder data and the highest available rating bucket published for the format (the cutoff varies, typically 1760+ on National Dex, 1825+ on Gen 9 OU). Use the high bucket when you want a cleaner picture of what wins at top level, ALL for the broad meta.

Use the time-travel selector in the topbar to view past months, or pin the format to your filter bar to share an indexed permalink. The data on this page is free, requires no account, and is also exposed via the public read API at /openapi.json for analysts and tool-builders.
