Explainable team planning
Pokelike Team Analyzer
Build a team of up to six Pokémon, enter the attack types you actually have, inspect defensive risks and traits, and compare one replacement without an opaque score.
Choose a mode, add ordered team members, enter only the attack types you want assessed, and run a deterministic comparison. Most Trait descriptions retain their v3.1 review; Ice and Steel were updated from v3.5. Effects remain informational, without battle simulation.
This is the Wiki's current browser-based planning tool. It needs no account, keeps saved state in the browser, and exposes the counts behind each finding instead of an opaque score.
Context
Choose the run you are planning.
Team Builder
Build an ordered team of up to six.
Add at least one member to analyze.
Swap Simulator
Compare one replacement.
The same analysis runs before and after the candidate. Results describe gains, losses, and unchanged findings without recommending a member.
Choose both positions, then Analyze Team or Update Analysis to produce the comparison.
Saved StateShare, load, clear, or reset the exact entered state
Share state uses a #team= Fragment. Browser saving uses pokelike-wiki:team-state:v2. No account or server team record is created.
Browser-local saving starts with your first edit.
Reset clears the current workspace and Fragment but keeps a separately saved team. Clear Saved Team removes only the browser copy.
A reproducible planning example
Add Water protection without hiding the trade-off
Start with Charizard, Shiny Arcanine, Talonflame, Camerupt, Gengar, and Machamp. Compare replacing Gengar with Vaporeon. Four members are still weak to Water after the swap; the gain is a Water-resistant teammate, not the removal of those weaknesses.
| Water defense | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Members weak to Water | 4 | 4 |
| Members resisting Water | 0 | 1 |
You lose Gengar’s Ghost and Poison Trait contributions and the Ghost/Poison attacks entered for this example. Fire stays at 5 points and T2. Whether that trade is useful depends on the threats and moves in your actual run.
These numbers are generated by the same calculator used in the tool. The preset’s attack types are explicit example inputs, not verified moves or a recommended Battle Tower clear. Change them to match your game. Availability, Items, Mutants, passive bonuses, and battle outcomes are outside this comparison.

Calculation boundary
No guessed moves. No unexplained score.
Offensive coverage uses only player-entered attack types. Results expose the counts, contributors, source boundaries, and before/after changes behind each finding.
