Composition

National Dex is a unique format that strives to make Galar mechanics work with all Pokémon in the game, including those that have been removed from the Pokédex. This also means that moves removed from the game, Z-Moves, Mega Evolutions, Dynamax, and everything else are playable.

The metagame is run by Kaede, astralydia and a council. It has a permanent ladder on Pokémon Showdown!. You can discuss strategies with friends on the National Dex Room on the simulator, on the National Dex Discord, or on the main topic on the forum.
