A practical way to build the team
Scarlet and Violet teams often need answers to Dragon, Fairy, Steel, and Ground pressure.
Use the game filter to focus on Pokemon that fit a Paldea-era team plan.
Later versions can add Tera type planning. The MVP uses base typing for clear first-pass analysis.
Pokemon worth checking first
These detail pages give each Pokemon its own crawlable home, then link back into the team builder with that Pokemon preselected.
Scarlet and Violet availability notes
What this page covers
- The game filter includes broad Paldea-era availability and DLC-linked options where source version data exists.
- Some Pokemon may require transfer, DLC access, raids, or post-game progress; verify exact capture method in game.
Where to start
- Pick a starter, then add checks to Dragon, Fairy, Steel, Ground, and Water matchups.
- Tera can patch a weakness, but the base team should still work before Tera is used.
Matchups to respect
- Prepare for strong Dragon, Ghost, Fairy, and Ground pressure.
- If you choose several fast attackers, add at least one bulky switch-in or support Pokemon.
Rules and mechanics
- Tera Type can change defensive and offensive plans, but this first pass analyzes base typing.
- DLC and transfer availability can affect whether a suggested Pokemon is practical for your save file.
Team drafts to start from
Paldea story balance
A story-friendly spread of speed, utility, Fairy/Steel coverage, and Dragon pressure.
Tera-aware draft
Works before choosing final Tera types because the base resistances are already useful.
Questions players usually ask

- No. Pokemon Team Maker is an unofficial fan-made planning tool and is not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures, or The Pokemon Company.
- Can I share my team?
- Yes. The current team is stored in the page URL, so you can copy the link and share the same team setup with someone else.
