## Description

For use on Pokemon Showdown to expedite team scouting. This tool  specializes in the first three generations of smogon formats. Some features may not work for later generations. This allows the tool to be more optimized for RBY, GSC and ADV by automatically inferring and transcribing more information than other scouting tools and quickly turning replay logs into pasteable and usuable teams. This makes it perfect for tour prep to quickly test yourself against scouted teams, or to shop for teams from replays and add them to your builder.
Features:
- Observes Items, Abilities, nicknames, shiny status and moves in effect and adds them to the team draft
- An internal pokedex style index that allows tracking of typing, unrevealed Abilities, and gender locks
- Infers Hidden Power types based on effectiveness against targets and adds the correct HP to the draft when only one type is possible
- Pokepaste style team draft as a preview of scouted teams
- Multi Scout button in the top right opens the Multi Scout page for scouting many replays simultaneously

Not affiliated with Smogon or Pokemon Showdown. All rights to Pokemon goes to Nintendo.
