5. Calculators & Algorithmic Outputs
Our randomizer, synergy matrix, and Showdown exporter generate outputs for recreational, draft, and challenge purposes:
- Informational Nature: Team synergy scores and defensive matrices represent calculated mathematical type matchups; they do not guarantee in-game battle success.
- Tournament Eligibility: Generated teams are not checked against official Play! Pokémon Video Game Championship (VGC) seasonal regulations. Players must independently verify tournament legality before competing.
- Showdown Export: Showdown team blocks provide placeholder move sets and standard EV spreads intended for rapid drafting. You may adjust items, moves, and natures as needed.
