## What is ChampDex?

ChampDex is a free competitive companion for Pokémon Champions. Build teams, run the numbers, and walk into ranked knowing your matchups.

DAMAGE CALCULATOR
Champions-accurate damage with full Stat Point support, Megas, weather, terrain, items, abilities, and spread reduction. Every formula is checked daily against Smogon's calculator so the KO ranges you see are the ranges you get.

TEAM BUILDER
The 66 Stat Point budget and 32-per-stat cap are enforced as you build, so you cannot ship an illegal spread. Allocation sliders, move coverage analysis, type weakness reporting, and Showdown import.

LIVE META
Usage rankings, tier lists, team archetypes, and the cores that actually appear together, all pulled from current tournament results rather than guesswork. You can see when the data was last updated.

REPLICA TEAMS
Real teams from real Champions tournaments, with the player, event, and placement attached. Load one and start playing instead of staring at an empty box.

FULL POKÉDEX
309 Pokémon including all 75 Mega Evolutions, with base stats, abilities, movepools, and speed benchmarks. 675 moves with accurate type, power, and category data.

TOOLS
Speed tier charts, EV to Stat Point converter, VP cost planner, spread solver, threat cards, box triage, and a daily speed quiz.

Built by one developer who plays the format. Data comes from PokéAPI, Serebii, Pikalytics, and Limitless, and refreshes itself automatically.

Not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, or The Pokémon Company.

### 1/5 — A really well made app, that is functionally almost useless.

*2026-06-21*

You can’t do calcs with specific spreads, you can’t do calcs for megas, and they literally don’t have staraptor. I don’t care if you have every Pokemon but at least have meta ones.

### 3/5 — Good proof of concept—room to grow

*2026-05-08*

Willing to update this rating as soon as some bugs are fixed and features are added. Good quality app in its infancy, but needs to continue addressing things to become great.

-pokemon missing from team building options (manectric is one)
-needs functionality to slide or input stat points; really don’t want to click 396 times to build my team’s stats
-lacks a solid explanation of how the “team rating” under the team audit section is calculated; currently it’s ambiguous and doesn’t clearly list which parts are affecting the score the most

### 2/5 — Kinda OK, irrelevant and confusing info

*2026-04-10*

This lets you check which pokemon are in the game but not really much else. The Meta tab contains information about pokemon and teams that aren’t in the game - for some reason I’m seeing tournaments from other games and pokemon that aren’t in champions and does not help in any way since this app is for champions. 

I found it useful to be able to save a team and that’s about it, until all that irrelevant meta info is removed

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are working on the next version that will have a lot of data fixes.
