About Champions VGC Lab
What is Champions VGC Lab?
Champions VGC Lab is an independent, community-driven fan project built for competitive Pokémon VGC players. Our goal is to make competitive data, team-building tools and format analysis accessible to everyone — from players just starting out in doubles to seasoned tournament competitors.
Our mission
We believe that good competitive tools should be free, fast and easy to use. We build and maintain this site to help players understand the metagame, build stronger teams, calculate damage ranges, and prepare for tournaments. All content is produced independently, without affiliation with The Pokémon Company or Nintendo.
Who is behind the site?
Champions VGC Lab is an independent fan project maintained by a small team of VGC enthusiasts. We are players first and developers second. We built the tools we wished existed when we were learning the format. If you find a bug, have a suggestion or want to contribute data, reach out through the contact page — we read everything.
Our data and its limits
Base Pokémon stats, move data and type matchups are sourced from community-maintained databases (PokéAPI, Pokémon Showdown) and verified against game data. Usage rates, win rates and tier placements are estimated trends informed by available competitive data and editorial review — they are directional indicators, not official rankings. We update data as the metagame evolves.
Intellectual property
Pokémon, all related names, characters and trademarks are the property of The Pokémon Company International, Nintendo, Game Freak and Creatures Inc. Champions VGC Lab is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these companies. Original site text, design and tooling belong to the Champions VGC Lab team.
Community and feedback
We are always improving. If you see an error in stats, a missing Pokémon, a broken tool or just have an idea to make the site better, please use the contact page. We especially welcome feedback from tournament players who can ground the data in real competitive experience.
