Pokemon VGC Team Builder

This tool provides a formal, repeatable framework for building Pokemon VGC teams. Users enter six slots with species, items, abilities, moves, EVs/IVs, levels, and preferred roles. The system assesses balance across offense, defense, speed control, and feedback loops, highlighting gaps in coverage or role overload. By focusing on data-driven roster construction, it reduces blind guesswork and accelerates the path from concept to a testable lineup.
Under the hood, the calculations implement standard VGC concepts: a type-coverage matrix to minimize double weaknesses, projected speed tiers, and baseline bulk estimates. It computes a viability score for each candidate move set and item combination, then surfaces alternative moves, items, or spreads that improve synergy or resilience. Optional advanced rules adapt to different formats or regional rule sets.
Beneficiaries include competitive players, coaching staffs, content creators, and analytic enthusiasts. The tool supports rapid drafting, scenario testing (e.g., two- or three-poke threats, sun or rain teams), and post-analysis after simulated battles. Its structured outputs help communicate decisions to teammates and audiences without exposing raw, inconsistently formatted notes.
Core features include six-slot templates, type-coverage analysis, viability scoring, EV/IV guidance, and exportable configurations. Typical use cases include initial team drafting, refining drafts after meta shifts, and building tutorial content. The tool emphasizes transparency of logic, enabling authors to reproduce conclusions and coaches to justify choices in tournaments.
