[often used in formal settings]
Bunpro says this is a formal expression but in my experience that’s not the case at all. I use it and hear it used in casual conversations very often but less often in formal writing. I think it’s almost never used in academic papers.

Hey @mitten !
In both the details section and in the hints, we explain that this is a somewhat formal grammar pattern. Because it could be used in both casual and formal situations, we have decided to change the register to say ‘Standard’ to avoid confusion.
As a fellow native speaker I agree that しかも sounds more casual than formal because of how often we use it and hear it, however this does not mean that it is never used in formal situations or academic papers.
We hope that this clears it up! 
Thank you for updating the page. I agree it should be labeled standard.
But it still says its 使用域 is 硬い. Is that intentional? (I don’t know how bunpro distinguishes register and 使用域)
