`node tools/set-import [version]` can be run to create a
`@pokemon-showdown/sets` package containing sets from Smogon, usage
stats and third party sources. Some notes:
- The build is set up so that `tools/set-import/importer.ts` is
compiled to `tools/set-import/importer.js` - creating a
`.tools-dist/set-import` directory for the sole artifact was
deemed to be overkill
- The sets package is generated such that it can be used easily on
Node or in a browser (where the large set JSON can be loaded
asynchronously)
- Supported tiers/formats are mostly arbitrary - those popular
enough to have a signficant playerbase or analyses on Smogon have
been included, but additional formats can be added based on demand
- Some set information is redundant for ease of use by downstream
users: certain formes are split out and information that could
theoretically be inferred like level/ability/HP IVs are included
to simplify parsing logic and make the sets more immediately
available. This results in what should mostly be negligible
size overhead.
- In a similar vein, display versions of effect names instead of IDs
are used (name -> ID is trivial, ID -> name requires data lookup)
- All sets pass validation, provided certain simple transformations
are applied (eg. reverting `battleOnly` formes like Megas)
This tool has primarily been tested to run on Linux - running on
other platforms is not guaranteed to result in error-free output.
