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.
