I've been exploring the play.pokemonshowdown.com/data directory to do some data analysis. However, there's one piece I'm missing which is the mon list for each format. I'm most interested in VGC but others would be nice as well. Is there a data file somewhere that defines which mons are legal in each format?

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.
Where is format data?
- Thread starter melondonkey
- Start date
It's in the Config directory (not public) + format-data.Json
However You can find it there on github https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown/tree/master/config it's the format.ts file
So there aren't really list of playable mons it's more like filter that append certain mons from array like Mystical and overused category
However there are also usage stats which are far more convenient imo https://www.smogon.com/stats/

Thank you! Yeah, the usage data is perfect for what I'm doing; I should have thought of that earlier.
