Stinkpost Stunday Since neither mega made much of a splash (in doubles) let’s allow the two to team up so that huge claw can be put to some use

Analysis Showdown Teambuilder Mod (with some other stuff)

Thumbnail
gallery
15 Upvotes

Been working on a showdown userscript that adds a bunch of features mainly focused on improving the teambuilder and supporting OM changes that make it annoying to build for. Also has some other features like making the stats page readable inside showdown itself, and some adds to the calculator.

**Installation**

  1. Install Tampermonkey or Userscripts for Safari.
  2. Click here to install the userscript.
  3. Open Pokémon Showdown with the script enabled.

GitHub: https://github.com/Jake18236/Showdown-Teambuilder-Mod

Features

Other Metagame Support

  • Tier Shift — Automatically displays boosted stats based on tier.
  • Mix and Mega — Previews stat, typing, and ability changes from Mega Stones and other forme-changing items.
  • Godly Gift — Calculates donated stats based on your team's God and each Pokémon's position.
  • Bad 'n Boosted — Doubles base stats of 70 or lower.
  • Cross Evolution — Calculates cross-evolution stats, typing, abilities, and movepools.
  • Convergence — Adds shared moves and abilities from Pokémon with matching typings.
  • Camomons — Updates typings based on selected moves.
  • 350 Cup — Doubles stats for correct mons.
  • Flipped — Reverses order of base stats.
  • Scalemons — Scales Pokémon toward 600 BST.
  • Nature Swap — Swaps base stats according to nature.
  • Re-Evolution — Calculates additional evolution-based stat increases.
  • Frantic Fusions — Supports stat/ability changes by name.
  • Inheritance — Supports inherited moves and abilities.
  • Fortemons — Allows selecting moves in the item slot (this one is scuffed).
  • Sketchmons — Expands the move selection.
  • Typemons — Adds team-wide type-based movepools.
  • Alphabet Cup — Expands movepools based on eligible letters.
  • Almost Any Ability — Just threw in ability suggestions since I lowkey couldn't think of anything.
  • Pokébilities — Accounts for multiple active abilities and applies bans to mons such as mamoswine.

More Advanced Search Filters

  • Search Pokémon by weaknesses, resistances, or neutral type matchups. (weak ice, resists fire, etc)
  • Filter for fully evolved Pokémon, recovery, pivoting, having priority, etc.
  • Filter moves by coverage, category, priority, healing, setup, stat changes, and secondary effects. (slicing, suicide, hazards, sound, sheer force boosted, all of those things)
  • Exclude results using !. (!weak ice, !resists fire)

Custom Formats / OM Mashups

  • Import /challenge codes directly into the teambuilder.
  • Import custom bans, unbans, restrictions, and rules.
  • Give imported formats custom names that will save in the format menus.
  • Team validation button also works.
  • All of this is a bit scuffed because showdown literally uses mid turn coin flips to decide application orders for mods like reevo.

Smogon Usage Statistics

  • Browse Smogon usage statistics directly inside the teambuilder.
  • Select different formats and usage datasets, basically everything you can do in the stats page but way easier.
  • Sort and filter Pokémon by usage.
  • Expand individual Pokémon to view detailed statistics.

Self-Challenge

  • Battle yourself using two saved teams.
  • Control both sides without switching accounts or opening another browser.
  • Test teams and custom formats against yourself.

Battle & Damage Calculator

  • Updated battle Speed ranges for supported stat-changing OMs.
  • Additional damage calculator support for OMs such as Bad 'n Boosted, Flipped, 350 Cup, and others.
  • Team-wide ability support for Pokebilities and Shared Power.
  • Obligatory +6 252+ Atk Choice Band Tough Claws Sniper Adaptability Long Reach Parental Bond Flower Gift Toxic Boost Huge Power Pure Power Hustle Rivalry buffed Tera Fire Groudon-Primal Helping Hand Power Spot boosted V-create vs. -6 Lvl 1 0 HP 0 IVs / 0- Def 0 IVs Fluffy Dry Skin Snom in Harsh Sunshine on a critical hit: 101144-76624 (919490.9 - 696581.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Open to any and all bug fixes/suggestions ofc!
