ShadowDex Terms

The rules and limitations that apply when using ShadowDex games, guides, and multiplayer lobbies.

Using ShadowDex

ShadowDex is provided for personal entertainment and learning. You may use the games and guides through the public website, share ordinary links to its pages, and invite people you know to private multiplayer lobbies.

Do not interfere with the service, attempt to access another player’s token, automate excessive lobby traffic, bypass technical limits, upload malicious input, or use the site in a way that harms other visitors or the hosting service.

Availability and accuracy

The site is provided as available and may change, pause, or contain errors. We work to keep Pokémon names, generations, media mappings, and type relationships accurate, but ShadowDex is not an official competitive-battle reference.

Progress stored in a browser can be lost if site data is cleared or the browser removes it. Multiplayer lobbies are temporary and are not intended for permanent records or high-stakes competitions.

Intellectual property

The ShadowDex interface, original written guides, and original application code are maintained by the ShadowDex Team. Pokémon names, characters, artwork, audio, and related trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

Nothing on the site grants permission to reuse third-party media beyond rights provided by the applicable owner or law. Source links and an unofficial-site disclaimer do not transfer ownership.

Changes and contact

These terms may be updated as the project changes. Continued use after an update means the current terms apply. Questions or rights concerns can be sent to hello@shadowdex.ca.

If a part of these terms cannot be enforced, the remaining terms continue to apply to the extent permitted.
