What is PokePaste?
PokePaste (hosted at pokepast.es) is a pastebin-style website for competitive Pokemon players. It stores Pokemon Showdown team exports as plain text and gives each team a unique URL. PokePastes are widely used in VGC, Smogon, and online tournaments to share team compositions quickly.
A typical PokePaste URL looks like: https://pokepast.es/xxxxxxxxxxxx
