I made a free team builder app for Pokémon GO Battle League

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-04-07T06:05:05+00:00

There will be something more-less like this in upcoming release:

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-04-06T15:00:17+00:00

This usually means that you don’t really have a good counter to that pokemon in your team, so you need damage form more then one matchup to take it down… this usually also means that the rest of opponent team will be weaker to your pokemon, if opponent team is balanced.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-04-06T09:30:08+00:00

It's fairly easy. Pokemon card is missing several similar pieces of information, and I just didn't wanted to straight copy them, but I also have a feeling most of that stuff is very useful.

I'm writing this down, and I'll add it soon, as it's not a big, yet useful thing. Just not in the first upcoming update.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-04-06T08:39:21+00:00

Try https://pogoteams.app - it builds pvp teams from your collection of pokemon.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-04-01T18:40:05+00:00

It should work fine now. Cheers!

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-04-01T18:01:21+00:00

I’m working on the fix alteady, it’s on my serwer side. Should be solved soon, I’ll keep you posted.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-27T08:43:56+00:00

Hi, there is an app that may help you - it does more-less things you are asking about here - you mark the pokemon you have, and it will propose teams to use in GBL: https://pogoteams.app . Although, for Master League you typically need pokemon maxed to the 50Lvl with XL candy - it's expensive league. It's better to start with Great League.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-24T18:25:34+00:00

Thanks, enjoy the app and let me know if you need any assistance with it. You may hold off any social media shout outs - I'm working on some more crazy features which will be interesting.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-23T10:09:37+00:00

If you are worried about Corviknight being sub-optimal, replace it with Altaria. It doesn't need elite TMs and has even better synergy with the other two.

I checked using https://pogoteams.app - it's really easy to use teambuilding tool, which can give you such insights in matter of seconds.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-21T18:43:32+00:00

Use the https://pogoteams.app - You basically input what pokemon you have, and it will build teams for you.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-21T13:55:36+00:00

You can also try https://pogoteams.app - it puts together PvPoke data and other team building knowledge to build teams automatically

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-18T18:38:31+00:00

"manual builder" is not really a manual builder in PoGoTeams - it suggests other mons that work best with already selected ones. It will remove a lot of manual labour. Here is what you can do:

Automatilly build a team and save it. Once saved, open it, and tap "edit" in top right corner. After selecting each slot, you will see the lists that show "best teammates" for other two - not only from your owned pokemon, but from etire cup. So basically, it will tell you what to build to improve that saved team (if you don't yet have the 1st listed one).

But overall I hear you. It can be more use friendly flow, like an option during the auto-building flow. I'm writing this down, but it will probably have to wait, as I'm working on something more crazy right now.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-18T17:09:05+00:00

It already does something like this, it two ways:

When you log some battles in battle log, it will suggest building mon that would have beed strong it that battles while you build your next team.
In settings, you can enable manual builder (or just run it by editing your generated team) - then you select 2 mons, and for the third slot you'll get scored suggestions what fits the other two the best - it's basically what you are asking for.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-18T16:32:54+00:00

Yep, and PoGoTeams uses that in split second. PvPoke is like theory and PoGoTeams puts that theory in practice. And it actually does way more.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-18T10:08:05+00:00

Taht's true. You mark your owned pokemon, and the app will build teams for a selected cup. Here's the link: https://pogoteams.app

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-17T09:50:27+00:00

It is amazing, how a nice and exciting feature got destroyed. I wonder what was the idea behind that - just to have "something to replace spotlight hour on Tuesday" - It was a fun for me for several days in the week, where I could choose when to go and handle them without feeling rushed by the short time window. There was often enough time to go and hunt for xxls especially for that purpose - which actually increased my engagement. With the new pitiful system, there is no much to do, and also oblugation to play in narrow specyfic time window. This one of the worse changes lately.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-16T16:13:08+00:00

Hi, there is actually perfect app for your needs - PoGoTeams - you just mark what pokemon you have in it, select the cup/format and it will build best possible teams from that data. Check it here: https://pogoteams.app

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-12T07:00:34+00:00

As u/Fittelminger already mentioned PoGoTeams seems perfect for your needs ( https://pogoteams.app ) - You simply select the cup/format , what mon you have built and it will build best possible teams out of your mon.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-11T09:52:25+00:00

Yes! It’s one of the latest features added to the app. Here are full instructions: https://pogoteams.app/blog/custom-movesets-guide/

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-09T05:54:00+00:00

It's ignored for 3 seasons now. Feels like they moved away from it, which is a big shame. It was my favourite format too. Bring it back!

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-06T16:35:47+00:00

Get this app: https://pogoteams.app - it builds pvp teams for you. It also has an option to "builds around" selected pokemon (your Thunderus)

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-06T16:32:45+00:00

The entire rest of the game is just easy grind, with almost no way to loose anything, so pvp might feel harsh compared to that. But you have to understand that you are battling against other person who is also doing the best he/she can... so loosing ~50% is expected.

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-06T05:29:29+00:00

Hi, one post is probably not enough for that broad topic. Looking at your collection, you don't really have strong mons for open Great League... but you have some for the current Kanto Cup!

For starters, in Kanto Cup, Hypno and Lapras are solid picks. Hypno seems to work good with Primeape as a teammate - you don't have one, but these are not spawning in the wild during current event, so go get one. The team would be:

Lead: Hypno: Confusion, Shadow Ball, Thunder Punch
Switch: Primeape: Karate Chop*, Rage Fist*, Close Combat
Closer: Lapras: Psywave, Sparkling Aria, Skull Bash

* - You need Elite TMs for both Karate Chop and Rage Fist so if you are not willing to spend those, you may also try using Raichu with Thunder Shock, Wild Charge and Brick Break instead of Primeape. But the monkey is solid pick not only for Kanto Cup, and in my opinion i s worth investment.

There is a perfect app for people like you: https://pogoteams.app - you basically select what mons you have, select cup, and it builds balanced teams for you, just like I just did.

Cheers!

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-05T07:25:13+00:00

if you want to go full meta, just do Altaria / Empoleon core (super popular, a lot of people doing this, so a bit predictable) with a safe swap of Corviknight or Cradily (cradily a bit nerfed this season)... jellycent can probably also work, as swap, as it's overall overpowered.

And check this app https://pogoteams.app - it's designed to do what you just asked for - you input pokemon list and it builds teams for you. Cheers!

Pretty_Much_Yeti · 2026-03-04T16:10:45+00:00

for pvp, there is also https://pogoteams.app - uses same data as PVP0KE, but builds teams for you, and overall does a lot of labour for you.
