About the Project
A prompt-first VGC workspace for damage calcs and Speed benchmarks.
Unburden is designed to speed up competitive teambuilding. Instead of filling long forms, you describe matchups and Speed interactions in text, tune visible assumptions, and share the full state. It is built for quickly answering: does this survive, what outspeeds this, and which assumption changed the result?
Highlight
Fast prompt grammar for matchups, modifiers, and quick checks.
Damage calculation comparing Min, Mid, and Max bulk at the same time.
Speed ladder for reading tiers, ties, and move-order thresholds.
The App
Visible Assumptions
Unburden uses the Showdown calculator for accuracy while keeping species, sets, modifiers, and battle context easy to inspect.
- Fuzzy matching for Pokemon and moves to reduce typing errors.
- Native support for Mega Evolutions, Weather, Terrain, Trick Room, and Speed modifiers.
- URL sharing that preserves the full calc or benchmark state.
Meta Data
Benchmarks and sets informed by Smogon stats
Current Pokemon Champions VGC meta data, including usage, common items, abilities, and benchmark defaults, is informed by public Smogon statistics where available.
- Unburden uses this data to make summaries, suggestions, and Speed tiers faster to start from.
- Smogon statistics are a starting point, not a guarantee of legality, optimality, or current tournament usage.
- Unburden is not affiliated with Smogon.
