- Porydex is an excellent visualization of the Smogon raw usage data, and additionally includes over-time graphs and pokémon/move data.
- A note about Porydex: unfortunately Smogon doesn't follow IV usage, so when Porydex lists a real stat value such as Relaxed :Ferrothorn:,
- it doesn't take into consideration the stat drop from 0 IV investment, and will list the real speed as 68 instead of 40.
- You can partially assume from the nature, but some subtleties are lost.
- Keep in mind some small amounts of data that are in the raw text may not be in Porydex and vice-versa.
- Personally, I don't recommend using Porydex (or the Smogon analyses) to copy-paste sets, but rather to use as a guide or reference.

- While a bit outdated and can have values that are not common or lack some that are,
- this is a quick and easy way to check out the real speed values of most mons in the meta.
- Even now it can be useful if used in conjunction with Porydex.

- Most teambuilders have some strengths and some drawbacks, and I certainly don't love this one,
- but the format for showing defencive (and offencive) coverage is the most clean and straightforward.
- I find it to be the most helpful in this regard; synergistic typing is very important when building a team from a defencive core.
- It's easy to see why some cores are so good. Take a look at the resistance chart for :Tapu Fini: + :Ferrothorn: for example.

- There are also some general tips to follow in terms of EV investing and whatnot.
- This post details most of the pertinent HP options. Of course also when running a non-Physical attacker,
- make sure to minimize IVs in attack to reduce Foul Play damage. Reducing HP IVs to below a tens threshold reduces LO damage.
- Particular IV management may be necessary on ultra beasts.
- Putting the last 4 or 8 EVs into speed even on a slow mon is a great option to avoid speed ties.
