Q: How does the team analysis work?

The analysis uses Pokémon types to summarize weaknesses, resistances, immunities, and same-type attacking coverage. It does not simulate abilities or exact movesets.

FAQ

Getting Started

What is the Pokémon Team Maker?: Pokémon Team Maker is a free browser-based Pokémon team planner for main-series games. Pick a game, choose up to six Pokémon, and review the team's shared weaknesses, resistances, immunities, and attacking type coverage.
How do I start building my team?: Select your game above, then choose Pokémon from its Pokédex. The builder updates the URL as your team changes, so you can bookmark the page or use the copy-link button to share the same lineup.

Team Building Strategy

What are the core principles of building a balanced Pokémon team?

A useful in-game team usually combines clear roles, broad type coverage, and teammates that cover one another's weaknesses:

Defined roles: Mix durable switch-ins, reliable damage dealers, and utility such as healing or status support.
Type balance: Avoid stacking the same weaknesses unless the rest of the team can switch into those attacks safely.
Complementary moves: Plan coverage, status moves, weather, and abilities together. The tool reports type-level coverage; final movesets still need game-specific planning.

How does the team analysis work?

The analysis counts each selected Pokémon's type weaknesses, resistances, immunities, and same-type attacking coverage. It is a fast team-level overview, not a battle simulator: abilities such as Levitate and the exact moves a Pokémon can learn are not included.

Advanced Features

Are all Pokémon forms and gender differences included?: Most gameplay-relevant forms are included. Cosmetic and battle-only forms are hidden by default and can be shown with the “Misc. Forms” filter. Forms with meaningful type or gameplay differences are represented separately where the dataset supports them.
How can I optimize my team for specific battles?: Build a candidate lineup, check the types that still threaten several members, and adjust one slot at a time. Copy the generated team URL before experimenting if you want to preserve or compare versions.
What about advanced strategies like team synergy and resource management?: Use the type report as a starting point, then check abilities, legal moves, speed control, weather or terrain, held items, and the rules of your chosen format. Those details are intentionally outside this lightweight planner.
