How to use this team builder

Use this page for competitive-style planning before exporting a full Showdown set.

The MVP focuses on Pokemon selection and type structure. Full EV, item, move, and format validation are planned for a later phase.

For early team planning, prioritize role balance, repeated weaknesses, and offensive coverage before fine-tuning sets.
