This site was created by Celandro (aka Ryan Barker) in July 2016 with the help of some of his coworkers. Ryan's wife Shelley Barker is also providing some much appreciated help on this labor of love.

The original calculation engine for this site was open sourced and a newer version of it now backs this free to all battle simulator site. Funding for this site is primary coming from the kind subscriptions of a small percentage of our users.

Special thanks to all the redditors who did research along the way including /u/homu, /u/Qmike, /u/pulsivesilver, /u/dondon151, /u/PEEFsmash,/u/hilmmas, /u/doublefelix921, /u/the_desert_rain, https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg, /r/pokemongodev and /r/thesilphroad.
