Pokémon Team Builder

Pokémon Team Builder is a free browser-based tool for building a team of six, checking team weaknesses, and calculating damage. Its Analysis tab reads selected movesets to identify shared weaknesses, unresisted types, and gaps in offensive coverage. The calculator shows sixteen-roll damage ranges and exact OHKO and 2HKO probabilities, with options for weather, terrain, stat stages, critical hits, screens, burn, and doubles spread damage. You can set abilities, items, natures, and moves, then tune EVs and IVs while seeing calculated stats. Full move-level team building and damage calculation cover Generation 9 and National Dex; planner pages cover mainline games from Red and Blue onward using their era-appropriate regional dex and type chart. Teams can be imported from or exported to Pokémon Showdown text, shared through links that rebuild the exact team, or downloaded as images. Saved teams remain in browser local storage rather than being uploaded to the service's servers.

Pokémon Team Builder brings team analysis, detailed damage calculations, and sharing tools into one browser-based planner. Its caveat is that mechanics and data may trail game changes, so treat calculations as planning guidance.

It suits players who want plain-language team analysis as well as competitive players working with EVs, IVs, items, Tera types, and damage calculations. It is designed for use in a desktop, tablet, or phone browser.

Pokémon Team Builder is a free browser planner for building Pokémon teams and examining their matchups. It suits players who want a clearer read on team coverage as well as competitive players refining individual sets. Its strongest reason to choose it is the range of analysis and damage tools at no cost; players should look elsewhere if they need role-based teams or side-by-side lineup comparisons.

Overview

Build a team of six, then use the Analysis tab to find shared weaknesses, types none of the team can resist, and offensive coverage gaps in the chosen movesets. That makes the planner useful for catching structural problems before settling on a lineup, while keeping the results understandable to players who do not work with competitive shorthand every day.

Teams are saved in browser local storage, not uploaded to the service’s servers. Share links reconstruct the exact team, including EVs, and teams can also be downloaded as images. The site sets no first-party cookies and runs no advertising trackers. Cloudflare processes standard server logs, and Google Analytics collects aggregate visit information such as page views, rough location, browser, and referral source; teams are not sent to Google Analytics.

Key features

Team analysis and set building

Choose abilities, items, natures, and moves, then adjust EVs and IVs while calculated stats update live. This keeps detailed set tuning alongside the broader coverage check, so competitive players can evaluate a lineup without separating team-level weaknesses from the choices on each Pokémon.

Damage calculations

The calculator reports damage across sixteen rolls and gives exact OHKO and 2HKO probabilities. Weather, terrain, stat stages, critical hits, screens, burn, and spread damage in doubles can all be included, making it a more useful planning aid than a basic type matchup chart. Those calculations still depend on game mechanics and data that can lag behind releases, so they are not a guarantee of battle outcomes.

Game coverage and sharing

Full move-level building and damage calculations cover Generation 9 and National Dex. Separate planner pages cover every mainline game from Red and Blue onward, using each era’s regional Pokédex and type chart. Pokémon Showdown text imports and exports preserve EVs, IVs, natures, items, abilities, Tera types, and moves, which suits players moving sets between the planner and Showdown.

Species data comes from PokéAPI, while competitive structures and calculations use MIT-licensed pkmn packages and @smogon/calc. Usage statistics draw on published Smogon statistics refreshed monthly. The site is maintained by one person; email replies generally take a few days, though new game releases can slow responses.

Pricing

Free: free. The plan requires no account and has no ads or paid tier. It includes the team-building, analysis, damage, sharing, and download tools, with a six-Pokémon team limit. Since six is the stated team size, that cap fits the intended format rather than restricting a larger lineup. There is no cheaper plan to give up features, and no trial or renewal terms apply.

Platforms

Pokémon Team Builder runs in a web browser on desktop, tablet, and phone. Android and iOS are supported through the browser rather than a separately identified native app, so it fits players who want to open a planner across devices without moving their team into a different platform.

Who it's for

This is a good fit for players who want plain-English coverage checks, and for competitive players who need EVs, IVs, natures, items, Tera types, and detailed damage probabilities in one workflow. It is less suited to users who need role-based team organization or lineup comparison; those functions are not part of its offering.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Broad damage modeling, including sixteen-roll ranges and OHKO/2HKO probabilities, helps players examine more than type matchups.
• Pros: Showdown text transfer and share links preserve detailed set information, reducing re-entry when sharing or moving teams.
• Pros: No account, paid tier, or ads are required, and teams remain in browser storage rather than being uploaded to the service.
• Cons: Mechanics and data can trail game changes, so calculation results should guide planning rather than be treated as certain.
• Cons: No role-based teams or lineup comparison, which leaves those workflows to another tool.

Verdict

Pokémon Team Builder is the right choice for players who want a free, browser-based way to inspect six-Pokémon team coverage and refine sets with detailed damage calculations.

Look elsewhere if you need role-based teams or lineup comparisons, and treat calculations as guidance when game mechanics change.
