Pokémon Team Type Calculator

Build your team, view sprites, and analyze type synergy with vibrant results!

 

The Pokémon Team Type Calculator is a vibrant, single-file, mobile-friendly tool for trainers to build and analyze Pokémon teams. It evaluates type synergy, offensive coverage, and defensive vulnerabilities (e.g., weak to Ground-type) with engaging, Pokémon-inspired visuals, including sprites and color-coded results. It displays individual Pokémon weaknesses, team ratings with radar charts, random team generation, export/import, and tailored recommendations.

Key Features

  • Team Synergy Analysis: Evaluate up to six Pokémon with individual weaknesses, resistances, and immunities.
  • Coverage & Vulnerability: Identify team-wide and per-Pokémon vulnerabilities (e.g., weak to Ground-type) with color-coded tags.
  • Pokémon Sprites: Display sprites in Poké Ball-themed frames for each Pokémon and recommended additions.
  • Random Team Generator: Create a random team of six Pokémon for quick testing or inspiration.
  • Team Rating System: Score teams (Outstanding, Superior, Decent, Poor) with a vibrant radar chart.
  • Recommendations: Suggest Pokémon (e.g., Dragonite for Ground-type weaknesses) to improve team balance.
  • Export/Import Teams: Save teams as JSON or import for later use.
  • Vibrant Aesthetics: Pokémon-inspired colors, Poké Ball motifs, gradients, and smooth animations.

Tips for Effective Use

  • Random Team Fun: Try “Random Team” to discover synergies, like pairing Gengar (Ghost/Poison) with Lucario (Fighting/Steel).
  • Ground-Type Weakness: If a Pokémon like Pikachu is weak to Ground-type, check recommendations for counters like Dragonite (Flying).
  • Competitive Building: Aim for an “Outstanding” rating with fewer than 3 team weaknesses and broad coverage.
  • Team Export/Import: Save team variations to compare or share JSON files with friends.
  • Mobile Optimization: Tap cards to view details; the responsive layout ensures smooth use on small screens.
  • Debugging: If results don’t display, open the browser’s developer console (F12) to check for errors and refresh the page.
  • Visual Appeal: Hover over Pokémon cards or type tags for zoom effects, enhancing the interactive experience.
  • Recommendations: Prioritize adding recommended Pokémon to cover team weaknesses or unresisted types for a balanced strategy.
