Shoddy Battle (later known as Pokémon Lab) is a Pokémon simulator created by Cathy and bearzly and first released in July 2007. It allows users to play Pokémon matches against other people online.

Shoddy Battle was highly influential on the game of competitive Pokémon because it was free and open source, scalable (700,000 battles per month during its peak), user customisable and extensible, and it provided unprecedented statistical data on player skill and Pokémon usage trends.
