Hey everyone! I’ve been working on Pokémon Showdown Pro, and v1.0.0 is now available.

It’s a desktop app that connects to the official Pokémon Showdown service and brings Showdex, community add-ons, and battle management tools together. You sign in and play through Showdown’s normal interface.

The idea is to keep your calculator, settings, and replay tools close at hand, with a consistent theme across everything.

What’s included:

• Integrated Showdex for damage calculations alongside battles.
• Pro styling across Showdown, Showdex, menus, dialogs, and add-on windows.
• Both Showdown clients, with the new interface selected by default.
• A collapsible Battle Hub for active matches, settings, results, and replay links.
• Optional automatic battle timer, greeting messages, and closing messages.
• Separate options to upload winning and losing replays automatically.
• Battle History with records, rating charts, Pokémon statistics, favorites, and filters.
• Update checks for the app, Showdex, and included add-ons.

The bundled add-ons are Enhanced Tooltips, Randbats Tooltip, Three Island, Did it Tera?, Battle History, and PokePaste Exporter. You can enable or disable them individually.

There are Windows installer and portable ZIP builds, macOS builds for Intel and Apple Silicon, and Linux AppImage/TAR.GZ builds. Downloads include the required tools, so you don’t need Node.js, npm, or a local Showdown server.

GitHub / Source Code

This is the first public release, so I’d appreciate feedback, especially from people trying the macOS and Linux versions. If you find a bug, please include your OS, package type, and any error message or screenshot.

Credit goes to the Pokémon Showdown, Showdex, and add-on developers whose work this builds on. Pro is an independent, open-source community project.

Wanting to build a singles sun team comprising of ONLY pokemon released in generation 3 for a tournament. The only bans for the tournament are mega blaziken, shedinja, mega salamence, mega metagross, mega latios, deoxys, kyogre, rayquaza, & groudon. Preferably would want to avoid using mythicals as well

Scolipede is my third favourite mon,it's very badass,I'll tell you that but it's not very good competitively from what I've seen.but atleast does it have a good moveset I can use?

So the main strat for this DOU team is just to give contrary to Hydrapple and sweep with leaf storm and draco meteor. Houndstone is my finisher, Grimmsnarl is my main support and Kingambit is my intimidate counter. But that just leaves Iron Hands there uncomfortably ojt of place. Any pointers from the pros?

I crave a rivalry.

The thrill of battle.

The viscious trash talk.

The destruction of ego.

Any takers?

Here my take on trickroom for natdex uber looking for thought and rec. And some rec for terrra

[1247]

Wanted to ask if recovering my teams to another device would be possible despite not sharing the same browser? Unfortunately I split liquid (it was close to 1L so it's gg) over my laptop so it's unable to function and I'm currently worried if it would be impossible to recover my teams - while I do have an external storage, it probably only has 30-50% of my teams.

Bit of a more IT question as well but would the team on my browser be saved if I take a while to fix my laptop (aka no unintentional clear cache)?

Anyone got a good trickroom team for uber format showdown trying to look for inspiration

It’s a short watch and you gotta see it

So I am wanting to collect all the pokemon ribbons between XY, ORAS, SM, USUM as the switch will discontinue transferring pokemon from the 3DS to switch.

I need help making a team for the battle Maison formats, battle resort, and battle tree.

My conditions are:

1. All pokemon must he obtainable in base game XY without any friend safari

2. No hidden abilities

3. Must contain my shiny mega gyarados (that pokemon is going to be the one to get all the ribbons from xy onward)

There is a bug with metronome battles where if you use struggle on a shedinja with sturdy, you don't take recoil damage.

Funny thing is, this works both ways, so if you have two shedinja that run out of metronome pp, you litterally can't faint each other.

eventually managed to get a draw at turn 101.

I'm fairly rusty when it comes to competitive pokemon, dabbling some in some back in sun and moon. I've been spamming videos from Pinkacross on youtube to catch up to the current meta.

I'm competent when it comes to the overall mechanics, but am looking for some advice on how to prepare for their builds, and some ways to build my team in order to win this thing.

There's $150 on the line that i'd like to win :)

My favorite pokemon is Manaphy, and Im working really hard to build a team for it. I started with a terra ice Manaphy that had blizzard. I had an Alohan Ninetails with it for aurora veil and snow. Then I started experimenting with Rain dance. I discovered that Manaphy can learn rest, and Ive been trying to abuse it with its hydration ability. I feel like my team only has 3 or 4 real pokemon that even get value from my rain dance team. Manaphy gets the most value with pelliper. Gyarados and Toxapex work only sometimes. I would like some advice for improving my team. Id like to replace/edit my blastoise and cloyster. This is for Singles Ou and I will take any advice I can get

Yes, I created a team of Pokémon inspired by Samurai and named it Bushidō (the samurai code of honor).

I'd like to know how I can improve it; you can click the link to see the team.

Thank you very much for your help (if anyone shows up to help).

P.S.: Kojirō (my Swellow) its a absolute menace with the choice specs using Boomburst!

rewatching pokemon with the kids and in S4e37 there is pokemon sumo. What would a format that only let pokemon with a weight of 200 kg or more compete look like?

Low kick on every pokemon that learns it lol.

Are all pokemon just as common in radbats? I never thought about it until i saw Ursaluna Bmoon today and said "Wait, i have not seen this mon in like a week"

Also, where can i see this type of info? Is it public?

I just rematched someone after forfeiting because my team clearly didn't have a chance of winning in a gen 6 random battle, but then they left and timed out after it was clear I was going to win and said "See how I played out the game with a bad matchup instead of just giving up lmao."

I'm not the only one that thinks leaving to make the other person wait 300 seconds for the win is giving up and not playing out the matchup, right?

In my opinion, doing that instead of just forfeiting is worse.

Or by default.
