A practical way to build the team
This builder is designed for players who want to evaluate a team instead of only listing six favorites.
The weakness panel counts attack types that hit multiple team members, so three shared weaknesses become an early warning sign.
The resistance and immunity panel shows whether the team has practical switch-ins instead of only listing what looks dangerous.
STAB coverage estimates which defending types your current Pokemon can pressure from their own typings.
Recommendations look for Pokemon that resist or ignore your biggest threats, add useful STAB pressure, and fit the selected game when possible.
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.
Questions players usually ask
- Is Pokemon Team Maker official?
- 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.
- How does the team builder check weaknesses?
- It compares each selected Pokemon's defensive typing against the type chart, then highlights attack types that threaten several team members at once.
- What do resistances and immunities mean for a team?
- They show possible switch-ins. A team can survive a weakness better when another member resists or ignores that same attack type.
- What is STAB coverage?
- STAB coverage is the set of defending types your selected Pokemon can pressure with attacks matching their own types. Move-level coverage will come later.
- How are the replacement suggestions chosen?
- Suggestions prioritize Pokemon that patch repeated weaknesses, add missing offensive pressure, provide utility, and match the current game filter when possible.
