Terms of use

These are the rules for using Metalodon: the site, its optional accounts and its Discord bot. By using them, you agree to these terms. “We” means the person who runs the site, named at the end.

Effective: October 20, 2026

An unofficial fan project.

Card names, images and text, and the game's marks, belong to The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK and DeNA, and are shown to identify the cards. Metalodon is not produced, endorsed or supported by, or affiliated with, any of them.

The site's own design, text and statistics and the Metalodon name and logo belong to the site. Links, screenshots and individual numbers may be shared with credit to Metalodon; the site or its data may not be copied in bulk. If you own rights in something shown here and want it changed or removed, write to [email protected].

Where the data comes from.

Tournament results, standings and decklists come from Limitless TCG; card data and art from Limitless and TCGdex; card rarity data from the flibustier/pokemon-tcg-pocket-database (MIT license); energy icons from Serebii.net. These sources are not controlled by the site and may contain errors. Links to other sites, and to Google or Discord, are governed by those sites' own terms; Discord's terms also apply when the bot is used.

The statistics.

Every number on the site is an estimate from past tournaments, shown with its sample size and a likely range; results in your own games can differ. How the numbers are made is explained on the Method page.

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, including that it is accurate, complete, uninterrupted or fit for a particular purpose, to the extent the law allows. We do our best to keep it correct and available.

Free to use.

Everything on the site today is free and needs no payment details. Some features are marked “Premium · coming soon”: they are not available yet, and nothing about them (price, date or content) is promised until they launch with their own terms. The site may also carry advertising in the future; if it does, the privacy policy will be updated before it starts.

Accounts.

Accounts are optional and are for people aged 13 or older, or older where your country sets a higher age for agreeing to online services on your own. Sign-in is through Google or Discord; that account should be kept secure, since it is the key to yours here.

What you create (saved decks, notes, follows and settings) stays yours and private. It is stored, and shown back to you and to anyone you send a deck link to, only to run the site, and it can be downloaded or deleted, or your whole account with it, at any time on the Account page.

Display names, deck names and notes must be free of anything illegal, hateful, or anyone else's private information; anything that isn't may be removed. Ideas you send may be used without anything being owed for them.

Fair use.

Please don't try to get into other people's accounts or parts of the site that are not public; fetch pages or data automatically in a way that slows the site for others, get around its limits, create accounts by automated means or ignore its robots.txt (the site's data addresses are not a public API and may change at any time); or use the site or the Discord bot to spam, harass or mislead anyone, or to pass off its numbers as your own work.

The Discord bot.

Server admins can add the bot and turn on a weekly post in one channel; it can be turned off at any time with /meta-weekly off or by removing the bot. The bot answers with the same public statistics as the site.

Suspension and closing.

An account that breaks these terms may be suspended or closed, usually after a warning. You can stop using the site and delete your account at any time. The site or any feature may be changed, paused or ended; if the site closes, we will give account holders at least 30 days to download their data.

Liability.

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost data or lost winnings, and our total liability to you for anything related to the site is limited to US$50. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud or for death or injury caused by negligence, or your mandatory rights as a consumer where you live.

Law and disputes.

These terms are governed by the laws of California, USA. If you have a problem, please write to [email protected] first so it can be fixed. Otherwise, disputes go to the state or federal courts in San Luis Obispo County, California. If you live in the EU or UK, your own country's courts can also be used and its mandatory consumer protections still apply.

General.

If part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement about the site. A term that is not enforced right away can still be enforced later, and these terms may be transferred if the site is handed to someone else. When these terms change, this page and its effective date at the top are updated; using the site afterwards means the new terms are accepted.

Who runs the site.

Metalodon is run by Isaac Thomas, an individual in California, USA. Contact: [email protected] (privacy and data requests: [email protected]).
