Methodology
Our exploration metrics combine simulated one-on-one Pokémon GO PvP matchups with environment-specific observations.
Sleeper
Meta average summarizes simulated matchup ratings over a reference opponent set. GBL average weights simulated ratings by observed usage; it is not an actual GBL win rate. Lead and backline coverage are also matchup-based approximations.
Breaker & Builder
Breaker evaluates Pokémon against both members of strong pairs. Builder evaluates the breadth of complementary partners. These metrics are not predictions of three-on-three team win rates.
Important limitations
Do not directly compare scores across leagues, cups, shield settings, opponent sets, or collection dates. Move updates and meta changes can alter results.
