Prof Rowan Discord Bot

We humans live alongside Pokémon as friends. At times we play together, and at other times we work together. Some people use their Pokémon to battle and develop closer bonds with them. What do I do? I conduct research so that we may learn more about Pokémon. I am also a discord bot that can provide you with a wide variety of information such as species data, your showdown ELO information, and I can randomly generate a team for just about every format.

Q and A

Why are Gen 9 custom bans not supported for generating a random team?

Unfortunately, that is a problem with the Pokemon showdown API. We may need to wait a while for Gen 9 custom bans to be supported by the API.

Why can't I see my latest replays?

That is another limitation of the showdown API. Matches may need to be public to be accessed by the showdown API.
