In the Game Version: drop-down, select Any (National Pokedex). This enables selection from a list of any Pokémon from the main game series.
The tool is designed to work for most mainline games. Some mechanics may vary slightly between generations. See the Game Version: drop-down for a list of all featured game versions.
The analyzer is intended to be used in a specific order to enable some fields to populate with the correct data. See How to Use This Tool for the proper use order. As the first fields are filled out, other fields will no longer be disabled.
Win probability is an estimation of how likely a Pokémon is to win a matchup between only itself and the opposing Pokémon. This is based on typing, stats, moves, items, and other factors.
Occasionally the database used to display moves does not return any moves for certain Pokémon species. This will cause --None-- to be the only move displayed when clicking into a move search box. Simply begin typing to search for specific moves from a list of all possible Pokémon moves.
Pokémon Species, Pokémon Variety (when applicable), and Move 1 fields are required for all Pokémon in order to genernate results.

Each time the calculate button is clicked and results are successfully generated, the Pokémon data will be saved. Each game version will save it's own data so you can safely move from version to version analyzing matchups without losing all your inputs. Data is saved in your browsers local storage. Once that storage is full or cleared, data will be lost and will need to be reentered.
