### 4/5 — Missing some things

*2026-06-22*

Missing the ability to choose any pokemon and any ability/moveset/item on any Pokemon, thats in the regulations other then that perfectly helped me build my mega mawhile team, i really like mawhile

### 3/5 — Delay to update

*2026-06-21*

Why is the desktop version (which is free) is more update than the mobile app version?

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2026-06-04, version 2.3.0*

It’s a fine enough app, but the team builder is kind of jankie. Does not let you add in lower tier pics and restricts what moves you can add to only the most used. Also struggles with VoiceOver accessibility, which I am locked into due to my visual impairment.

### 4/5 — Love it, However

*2026-05-27*

Sometimes it feels a small bit laggy, which is mostly fine but when I'm rushing to check speed tiers in the middle of a match it can be stressful. Also the teambuilder aspect feels lacking relative to the free web version I'm used to, which I still use sometimes. Regardless of this, I do not regret my 99 cent purchase of this app.

### 5/5 — Love it. Information request

*2026-04-27*

This is an amazing app. I like the type quiz but can we also have the option to see the Pokémon’s resistances and weaknesses in the Pokédex tab please 
Thank you great work

### 4/5 — Love the features

*2026-04-25*

Really love what the app offers. I had bought the app hoping to use all the features from the website without adds. I would happily spend more money to have those features as a new competitive player. I’m hopeful that things like the damage calc, the speed/dmg quizzes can be integrated as well as team building with the ability to save a few teams.

### 5/5 — DONT BUY ITS OUTDATED

*2026-04-16, version 1.2.11*

I paid for it and now the app is extremely outdated only reason I gave it 5 stars is so my review is seen. Doesn’t have ANYTHING champions related

### 5/5 — Great but..

*2025-09-16*

This is a great tool and even after recently downloading it I find it amazing but it needs to have a way where you can plug in a te that you've made or have a team builder section that would compare to how marrilands website used to be before it stopped working because I can get the ideas and what to through on my team but I can't see how all six works together all on the same page, it's just each individual pokemon and possible teammates (it's amazing and I mean no hate but we need a team builder)

### 2/5 — Update pls

*2025-04-23, version 1.2.9*

The UI is good but the data in the app is outdated compared to the web version, so is useless at this point.

### 3/5 — Missing Damage Calculator

*2025-01-26*

I was pretty disappointed to see that the app doesn’t have the damage calculator as it is one of the best features on the website. I probably wouldn’t have bought it if I had known. Otherwise, the app is fine.

### 2/5 — No new updates

*2024-12-16*

Idk why but there are no new updates to this app

### 2/5 — Where is team building?

*2024-11-10, version 1.2.9*

No reason to charge for this app when you CANT EVEN TEAM BUILD?!

### 4/5 — Great app but doesn’t update frequently enough

*2024-10-26, version 1.2.9*

Amazing and great to use just needs to be updated with each new regulation

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Short selection of moves

*2026-06-30, version 2.3.3*

Why isn’t every move every pokemon learns in here? Each mon only has 10 moves to choose from. I couldn’t even make my team because I want air cutter on Mega Dragonite and dragon cheer on Dragapult but I couldn’t put either of those moves on those pokemon. Why?

### 1/5 — Slow to update!!

*2026-06-21, version 2.3.2*

I’m so upset I bought this. It’s not quite up to date for Champions and limits what skills I can add. For example I added Volcarona and could not add quiver dance. The heck?? I’m literally using quiver dance on my volcarona in the current regulations (MB)

### 1/5 — Missing pokemon

*2026-06-21, version 2.3.2*

It’s fine if you want to build a team like everyone else, but if you want to think outside the box it’s missing pokemon that are in the game. Off the bat, it’s champions reg m-b is missing noivern, beedrill, chimecho, luxray, roserade,and leafeon. I understand that these pokemon aren’t used a lot but a team builder should have every pokemon you can use, otherwise it’s inherently limiting and flawed.

### 1/5 — ???

*2026-04-22, version 1.3.0*

The Pikalytics website has more features and is more convenient, no reason to buy the app

### 1/5 — Stick to the Website.

*2026-04-09*

Honestly it hurts to give this app a One Star review but it is fully deserving.

The app hasn’t been updated in 10 months now which is a lifetime for competitive Pokémon play. It’s missing regulations and obviously the play data which is what we are using Pikalytics to find out!

The website is free and in much much better condition.

Stick to the website.

### 1/5 — Too much focus on Showdown

*2025-04-27, version 1.2.9*

If you don't play Showdown, half this app is useless. The ranked closed team sheet meta is far different, limiting this app's utility if you are trying to compete in Ranked or Japan PJCS, for example. Needs to pull more relevant data from switch, like tera type percentages etc. I prefer the HOME app even though it's also limited.

### 1/5 — Would give zero stars if possible

*2024-10-12, version 1.2.9*

Not an app that is consistently updated. There is no option to teambuild on the app. Save your 99 cents and just stick to the website.

### 1/5 — Late to update

*2024-09-23, version 1.2.9*

They update the app with new data almost when the Regulation is over. Devs are really slow wouldn’t recommend, go to Munchstats instead

### 1/5 — Update Plz

*2024-02-10*

We're playing Regulation F now, and this app is showing Regulation C.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2024-01-18, version 1.2.7*

The app is several regulations behind. The information it displays is lackluster. If you click a move in a move set it won’t tell you what the move does. I have found that opening Pikalytics in a web browsers works much much better. It feels like a money grab when you get a better service out of a web browser.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Missing Mega Raichu-X

*2026-06-28, version 2.3.3*

Hi. Please consider adding a set for mega raichu x. There is no option for this. Thank you.

### 5/5 — So Simple, So Clean, So Effective

*2026-06-09, version 2.3.0*

Call me Wolfe Glicke I’ll be a champion in no time

### 5/5 — Best app for champions help

*2026-06-03, version 2.3.0*

This last update was incredible adding a builder, speed tiers, damage calculator, tests for speed tiers and super effective moves. 100% my new favorite app for help on champions!

### 5/5 — Team builder

*2026-05-22*

Super good app, especially all the recent updates for champions. One thing about the team builder that would be nice is the ability to enter any move, not just the meta ones.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-05-18*

Really cool team builder. The speed calculator and type coverage chart are great. I’ll be saving that last star til we get a battle calculator, once that’s in I’ll update my review. It’s the last piece needed to make this the ultimate app.

Edit: battle calculator is here, updated to 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-18*

So glad I bought this app as I love how often the dev updates this with new features. An app I’m finally able to say I’m glad I bought.

Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Game changing

*2026-05-17*

App has been updated frequently and has now become a perfect little companion for learning to play or experienced players.

### 5/5 — Very good app!

*2026-05-15*

Very good app! So I can’t find Forretress.
Thanks for attention!

### 5/5 — Nota

*2026-05-14, version 2.0.6*

Deberían poner más idiomas para mejor consumo

### 5/5 — Just missing a teambuilder

*2026-04-29*

I personally prefer munchstats when checking out usage stats on a PC, but when it comes to the mobile experience this app is better than any website tenfold. If it only had a teambuilder then it would really be the perfect vgc tool. Great work!
