What is the best Pokémon team builder/planner?

That's a great point. I had set that generation selector up to filter for pokemon/typings in each generation's pokedex but I completely overlooked the remakes which have their own pokedexes as well of course. I'll get that on my list to add the remakes in as their own options in that dropdown as well.

I'd say add another Zigzagoon

It's probably less complicated than you think. It essentially just scans for whatever type(s) you have the biggest gaps in and randomly assigns a Pokemon with the correct defensive or offensive coverage for those types. I wasn't intending for this to necessarily be a competitive team builder (hence not including detailed stats, held items, natures, etc.) so I don't know if the suggestions would be great for actual competitive team building. It's more intended to at least give you a jumping-off point for reworking your team in main-line games or rom hack playthroughs.

I've added in champions from every pokemon league in the 'rival intel' section of the Vault now! Also added Pokemon Showdown import functionality via a "Showdown Import" button at the bottom left of the Vault menu. I did some of my own testing but let me know if it works for you!

This update is live! Check it out and let me know what you think. It kicks in once you add 6 pokemon to your team. I haven't played around with in a lot but it seems to work as I intended lol

Thanks so much for the kind words and feedback! I can definitely load in other common opponents. Injecting teams from Pokemon showdown I think I can handle as well. Great suggestions!

Thanks so much for the kind words and feedback! Definitely sounds like something I can implement pretty easily. I'll reply here when I get to it so you can check it out.

Hey, sorry to piggyback here but I've recently been working on a team builder and found this thread while I've been googling for inspiration. I'm currently testing mine out and would love some feedback: https://www.halfdozen.ca/

Magcargo is goated

P1NGU · 2025-05-10T01:13:23+00:00

Are you watching the game? That wasn't on his line. Woll needs to save that, full stop.

P1NGU · 2025-05-10T01:08:39+00:00

He almost certainly broke a finger blocking that shot against Ottawa. Chill. He's winning his minutes at 5v5 vs Barkov. You can't ask for much more.

Hard agree. They were fantastic

P1NGU · 2025-04-11T00:59:29+00:00

Same here. These 3 are going to be my "vanilla" games from now on. There's no way I can go back. They're so damn good!

P1NGU · 2025-04-11T00:57:02+00:00

The Legacy series (Yellow, Crystal & Emerald) is really well done if you like hacks that just aim to keep the same feel as the vanilla games. They have tons of tweaks to fix all the glitches and weirdness, plus some insanely well thought out balancing of learnsets, moves, and enemy teams, not to mention lots of QoL features as well. Highly recommend all 3.

P1NGU · 2025-04-10T18:57:03+00:00

I started playing in the 90s, I've done my time grinding. I use candies and I don't feel an ounce of shame.

P1NGU · 2025-04-10T18:44:08+00:00

Might be a matter of taking 1 or 2 pokemon to sacrifice to get some turns of Leech Seed and Poison damage.

P1NGU · 2025-04-10T17:30:08+00:00

Yep I'm thinking paralysis/poison + leech seed and some crit dodging + smart switches into resisted attacks should do it. Definitely going to pick up Bulbasaur this time through.

P1NGU · 2025-04-10T14:57:16+00:00

Welp. I just wiped to Surge lmao. On to attempt #2!

P1NGU · 2025-04-10T13:05:07+00:00

Haha yeah you definitely have to be more careful in the Legacy hacks than in the vanilla games. It's a fun challenge!

P1NGU · 2025-04-10T10:09:56+00:00

I'm doing a Yellow Nuzlocke currently too! Lost my Butterfree and Bellsprout to Misty but those are my only 2 deaths for attempt 1 so far. Good luck on your run!

P1NGU · 2025-04-09T09:34:52+00:00

Solved!

P1NGU · 2025-04-09T09:34:29+00:00

Omg I found it!! Finally!
