FAQ
Pokemon Showdown FAQ
How often does the Pokemon Showdown tier list update?
It is a starter reference template rather than a live database. Recheck the current season, game version, or format before publishing your own Pokemon Showdown answer.
What is the best Pokémon in Pokemon Showdown?
There is no universal best pick. The answer depends on the league, rules, moves, team, and matchup; use this board to make your criteria visible.
How do I make a Pokemon Showdown tier list?
Choose a scope, drag Pokémon into tiers, rename rows if needed, and download or share the finished board.
Can I edit the default Pokemon Showdown ranking?
Yes. Drag any card to another row, rename or recolor tiers, add rows, and remove the cards that do not fit your rule.
Can I share my Pokemon Showdown tier list?
Yes. Select Save & Share after you have ranked at least one Pokémon. Rankly creates a shareable link for the board.
Is this an official Pokemon Showdown ranking?
No. This is a personal visual ranking tool. It does not claim to represent the game publisher, Pokémon, Smogon, or an official ladder.
Can I rank different formats in Pokemon Showdown?
Yes. Put the league, season, ruleset, or format in the title, then build a separate board for each question. The template covers formats, roles, and matchup discussions, but it does not fetch live format data.
