Focused builder paths

Use the general builder for broad testing, then use the Showdown builder when you need import and export text for competitive drafts.

Pokemon Team BuilderGeneral weakness, resistance, coverage, and recommendation checks.Pokemon Showdown Team BuilderImport a Showdown team, improve the draft, and copy export text.

A practical way to build the team

Platinum teams often start with Infernape, Empoleon, or Torterra, then add coverage for Cynthia-style threats.

Ground, Ice, Water, Electric, and Fighting coverage are especially useful in Sinnoh planning.

Use the recommendations to spot team members that reduce repeated weaknesses.

Pokemon worth checking first

Platinum availability notes

What this page covers

  • The Platinum filter emphasizes Sinnoh-era planning with practical story and late-game options.
  • Some Pokemon evolve late or need specific stones, trades, or locations, so treat templates as planning starts.

Where to start

  • Infernape teams often want bulky Water, Ground, and Electric support.
  • Empoleon teams appreciate Ground immunities and Fighting answers.
  • Torterra teams should patch Ice and Flying pressure early.

Matchups to respect

  • Plan for Cynthia-style mixed coverage, especially Dragon, Ground, Fighting, and Ice interactions.
  • Do not stack too many slow Pokemon without a fast revenge option.

Rules and mechanics

  • Platinum uses the post-Gen 4 physical/special split, so Pokemon roles can differ from Emerald.
  • Stealth Rock and stronger move pools make defensive typing more important than a simple favorites list.

Team drafts to start from
