Does this have the ability to compare Pokemon between generations? If not, I am requesting that feature.

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

That sounds like a cool feature that would be right in line with the rest of Porydex's goals. How would you want it to work? What specifically would you want to compare?
Usage and tier. Useful for analyzing how the introduction of newer Pokemon affects the meta.
Minor update: I added item icons to the moveset pages.
Nothing especially exciting other than that, in terms of recent development. Right now I'm mainly just keeping it updated with new usage stats when they come out.

Have you considered having a "clear deadzones" kind of option for graphs? Some tiers (like RoA Spotlights) are only on sporadically, so when you view graphs, you end up having them look like this:
I think it would greatly increase viewing quality.

On a side note, using PS Long Descriptions for move effects here, as Smogon does, could be a nice touch.

re: chart deadzones: The main reason I'm not already doing that is because I couldn't think of a way to differentiate between "Tentacruel has 0% for Gen 1 UU in that month because it was in OU at the time" and "Tentacruel has 0% for Gen 1 UU in that month because Gen 1 UU had no battles in that month"
Except, now that I think it through further, I literally do have the data on which formats have [any data at all] in which months, so I can differentiate. Thanks for bringing that up, I'll add it soon.
re: long descriptions: all the move descriptions and stuff are ripped straight from the game roms, and I'd rather not give myself the hassle of another set of description texts to maintain... If you can point me to an API that gives me those descriptions, I'll gladly integrate it
EDIT: chart deadzones gone, happy RoA analyzing

I'm not able to view the website. It's saying it's "redirected too many times". What's the deal? Great project btw, I love how you can view metagame trends with this.
It means I pooped up when renewing the SSL certificate a few days ago, lmao oops, fixed
Sorry but I'm probably not going to do this, just because of how much more data volume that would require. (Casual reminder that this project is fully open source and anyone can fork it and reconfigure it to pull in data for whatever formats they want)
Can we appreciate the volume of work this guy put in for a statistics website? Dude, you're a legend.
Hi there, everybody.
I haven't updated this thread in a few years because this project fell to the back burner for a while, with various IRL demands and then the database falling behind by multiple games for a year or two, but Porydex is still alive.
In fact, now it's fully up to date once again and even includes the Tera Type data that was unexpectedly (to me) added to the stats files this morning.
Take a look and enjoy the stats: https://www.porydex.com/stats/2024-08/gen-9-ou/1695
(It's still kind of janky because of the lack of sprites/3D model gifs for the entirety of gen 9. Not sure what I'm going to do about that yet; I'm not a fan of Showdown's solution of "use whatever, visual coherency is dead")

Full details on my dev blog.

Usage stats for October 2024 are now online.
Other recent site updates:
- The type chart page lets you toggle rows/columns on/off, and you can now bookmark those mini-charts. (This should be useful for monotype teambuilding especially.)
- Added a stat calculator page.
- Calculated stats from EV spreads now assume a 0 IV instead of 31 where appropriate. (AKA, when Attack or Speed have 0 EVs and a negative nature.)
- Added data to the dex pages: EV yields, egg groups, base experience, catch rate, base friendship, exp. growth rates.
Full details on my dev blog. Most of last month's updates were centered around the dex half of the site rather than the stats half, but some of it should still be useful. Mainly the type charts thing.

(I don't want to keep double posting so for now I'll just edit this post every month I guess.)
Usage stats for November 2024 are now online.
Other recent site updates:
- Smarter cross-page filtering for both the dex and the stats sections of the website.
- Internal updates to the site code.
- Added functionality to filter learnsets by type and/or category on the dex/pokemon pages.
Full details on my dev blog.

Usage stats for December 2024 are now online.
Other recent site updates:
- Advanced Pokémon Search
- Advanced Move Search
- Various code updates for PHP 8.4
Full details on my dev blog.
(Okay, editing this post every month is stupid, next month I'm going to make a new post. There's no point in hiding all these new features and functionality I've been adding lol)
~~~
Usage stats for January 2025 are now online.
Other recent site updates:
- Added the ability to advanced search for Pokémon with specific type resistances/immunities (with or without abilities being factored in).
- A few other minor additions to the Advanced Pokémon Search.
Full details on my dev blog.
(Actually, this month was lighter on site updates than expected, so I don't want to make a new post just yet.)
