Practical Pokemon battle planning resources for players who need faster team checks, matchup notes, and damage calculation workflows.
This repository is a compact reference for competitive preparation, casual ladder testing, and Nuzlocke boss fight planning. It does not try to replace practice battles. It helps you organize the decisions that should be checked before the battle starts.
| Battle task | Recommended resource | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Team planning and weakness checks | Pokemon Team Builder | Checking type coverage, role balance, and defensive gaps |
| Damage ranges and KO checks | Pokemon Damage Calculator | Testing survival ranges, item choices, and setup thresholds |
A team builder should help you quickly check type coverage, defensive weaknesses, speed control, and role balance before you spend time testing a team on the ladder.
Start with:
Recommended tool: Pokemon Team Builder
Damage calculation is useful for checking KOs, survival ranges, setup thresholds, and item choices. Before a tournament, ladder session, or Nuzlocke fight, run the important matchups instead of guessing.
Start with:

- Test the team, then return to the checklist after repeated losses.
