What is PokemonBuilder?
A set of free tools for building competitive Pokémon teams in the browser: a team builder that analyses the team while you build it, a full Pokédex, a damage calculator, speed tiers, usage statistics and real tournament teams that import into the builder in one click.
It works on a phone or a computer with nothing to install, and your teams are saved without an account. With an account they follow you to every device.

How is it funded?
PokemonBuilder is completely free: no ads, no paid plan and nothing locked. It is a fan project, made for the community and not for money. Anyone who wants to help can leave a voluntary contribution on Buy Me a Coffee, which is optional and unlocks nothing.
Where does the data come from?
Pokémon, moves, abilities and items come from PokéAPI and from Pokémon Showdown's own data. Ladder usage comes from Smogon's monthly statistics of Pokémon Showdown battles; for VGC regulations, results from Limitless tournaments are merged in. Tournament teams come from VGCPastes, a community-maintained repository. Sets come from Smogon.
The datasets are refreshed every day, and the pages that show them say where their numbers come from and when they were last updated.
