About
This dataset serves as a valuable resource for the competitive Pokémon video game community, focusing on the Video Game Championship (VGC) Series 12 rules. These rules were the official format for tournaments and events from February to August 2022, culminating in the Pokémon World Championship in London. The database is designed to support both novice and experienced players, providing essential information to delve into competitive battles. It includes statistics and descriptions of Pokémon, moves, tools, abilities, and other game mechanics, along with relationships between gameplay elements and usage data from competitive matches, such as popular teammates, items, moves, abilities, and individual Pokémon statistics.
Columns
The dataset is structured across multiple tables. For example, a bridge table linking moves to their types (
bridge_move_type_MOVES_IS_TYPE.csv) contains:- Name: Represents the name of a Pokémon move, with 821 unique entries.
- Type: Indicates the elemental type of the move, with 18 unique types. The most frequent types observed include Normal (23%) and Psychic (8%).
Distribution
The database is comprised of 6 distinct datasets and 13 bridge tables, usually available in CSV format. An example file,
bridge_move_type_MOVES_IS_TYPE.csv, has a size of 15.5 kB and contains 821 records, reflecting the number of unique move names and types. Specific row/record counts for all tables are not explicitly detailed, but the overall structure is designed to link various gameplay elements.Usage
