Matchups
All figures are estimated trends based on available data and do not guarantee competitive results. Matchups are situational.
Understanding matchups is fundamental to VGC success. Unlike single battles, doubles matchups depend not only on type advantages but on positioning, move priority, spread damage, redirection and lead selection. A Pokémon that loses a one-on-one matchup can win with the right partner support. Use this tool to compare any two Pokémon: see their type advantages, estimated speed tiers, common moves and how they interact on the field. Matchup analysis is situational — always combine tool data with real game experience.
