Key insights
- Add your first Pokémon to see its strengths and weaknesses.
How is the score calculated?
Offense (25%): neutral-or-better type coverage and strongest attacking base stats. Defense (30%): team resistances, unprotected and repeated weaknesses, and 4× vulnerabilities. Coverage (25%): fraction of 18 single-type targets hit super effectively by your own types. Synergy (20%): teammates resisting each other’s weaknesses, physical/special/bulk stat signals and base Speed ≥100. Scores are rounded to 0–100; the total uses the displayed subscores.
Rating bands: Excellent ≥80, Good ≥65, Fair ≥45, Poor below 45. An empty team has no rating.
Small teams are provisional and are not given a separate completion bonus. Adding a Pokémon can lower the score if it creates new weaknesses or lowers averages. These initial heuristics have not been calibrated against battle outcomes.

What is in this pool?
Base species #001–1025, using Generation 9 data. A casual planning pool, not a VGC, ranked, or Showdown National Dex legality validator. Regional, Mega and alternate forms are not included yet.
Earlier species are retained even if they are not available in Scarlet or Violet. The tool does not apply tier bans, restricted-species limits or official event regulations. Its role is to help compare team typing and base stats.
Generation 9 assumptions
The 18 standard attacking types use the Generation 9 type chart. The type matrix assumes no abilities, moves, items or battle transformations. Stellar and Terastallization are not modeled.
