We are being asked when gen9 will be up on Showdown a lot so: as soon as possible past the games' release! Only sure thing is that our volunteer researchers & developers will do their best to offer you a quality implementation of the new game elements. Let's all cheer for them!

Fret no more! While we can't help you with your sleep schedule, nor sing you lullabies, we do love new Pokémon being released! Thanks to our fantastic dev team, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves are available for your Showdown teams, and have been added to Random Battles as well!
